Kabras Sugar and KCB Rugby face off for the 17th time since the sugarmen’s promotion in a Kenya Cup match day 11 fixture at the Kakamega Showground on Saturday 9 March 2024. This is the last round of action before the quarterfinal playoffs featuring the top six sides at the close of the regular season.
This match comes 363 days to the day that Kabras defeated the bankers 19-9 at the same venue to successfully defend their Kenya Cup title.
They have been rampant all season, leading the table and picking up bonus point victories in all ten of their previous outings to date, and despite securing home semifinal qualification, will be out to close out the regular season on high, and what better motivation than putting the old enemy through a mauling in Kakamega.
KCB come into this match in second place and off the back of their first defeat of the season. They are also assured of home semifinal qualification by virtue of the unassailable gap between them and third placed Menengai Oilers who incidentally defeated them last weekend. That result is probably a call to action for the bankers who will need to be on top of their game in Kakamega as they seek to offer a stern test to their hosts.
Kabras Sugar come into this clash having won their last two matches against their visitors who dominate the overall head to head record with 11 wins to Kabras Sugar’s 4 wins and the 1 draw.
