On Saturday, January 20, 2024, the Kenya Cup rugby season will reach the midpoint with a highly anticipated clash between KCB and Strathmore Leos. Both teams are vying for a spot in the playoffs, making this match crucial for their respective campaigns. KCB, currently sitting in second place, has been dominant so far, winning all four of their previous games and securing bonus points in each. However, the upcoming match against the Strathmore Leos presents their toughest challenge yet. The Leos have had a rocky season, with two wins and two losses. Former KCB flyhalf Stephen Osumba, now playing for the Leos, will be a key figure in their game plan against his former team. Other important players for the Leos include Andrew Matoka, Richard Liva, and Barnabas Owuor. In another key match, Kenya Harlequin, in fourth place, will host seventh-placed Nakuru. Both teams have been performing well, with Quins boasting an undefeated record and Nakuru coming off a strong showing in the Nakuru Derby. The top-ranked Kabras Sugar will host Mwamba in Kakamega, and Menengai Oilers will welcome Kenyatta University Blak Blad to the Nakuru Showground. Other matches include Catholic Monks against Kisumu and Nondescripts hosting Homeboyz.
