Kenyatta University’s Blakblad RFC handed Nondescript RFC a 17-32 loss in the return leg keeping their survival hopes alive. Blakblad’s 20-17 win over Impala Saracens boosted their hopes to remain in the top tier league a fortnight ago and today’s win over Nondies complemented this.
In Kakamega, Kenya Harlequins bounced back to their winning ways after securing their much needed 28-16 win over the Western Bulls at the Bull Ring.

In the second half, Bulls added an extra eight points while Quins scored three extra tries, all unconverted, to secure their much-needed victory.
