All to Play for as Nondies and KCB Clash in Epic Kenya Cup Showdow
The Kenya Cup enters its 8th round this weekend, with an epic showdown scheduled between Nondescript (Nondies) and KCB at the Nairobi Jockey Club, home of the Nondescripts. With both teams eager to secure vital points, this match promises to be a thrilling contest.
Nondies’ Resurgence and KCB’s Title Hopes
The Red Lions (Nondies) are entering the match from the 4th position with 28 points, having had a challenging 2019-2020 season, finishing 8th with just 16 points. However, they have since made a strong comeback and are eager to continue their ascent in the standings.
On the other hand, KCB, currently holding the 2nd position with 38 points, is aiming to clinch the title. The Bankers have consistently been a dominant force in Kenyan rugby but experienced a setback during the 2021-2022 seasons, losing their title to Kabras Sugar despite their best efforts to defend their crown.
History of Intense Encounters
Both teams have a history of intense encounters, including multiple cup finals. KCB has had the upper hand in most of these matchups, notably winning the 2022 Floodlit tournament in dominant fashion with a 20-3 victory over Nondescript, securing their fourth consecutive Floodlit title.
Now, Nondescript is determined to exact revenge and secure the full 4 points, which would further fuel their push for a top position in the Kenya Cup standings.
Other Fixtures to Look Out For
In other matches this weekend, Black Blad will host South Coast Pirates, Kenya Harlequins will take on Kabras Sugar, Menengai Oilers will face Impala, Mwamba will host Strathmore Leos, and Kisumu will travel to battle Nakuru.
The Kenya Cup is heating up, and with each team fighting for critical points, this round is sure to offer plenty of drama and excitement.
