Six matches have been lined up for this weekend (Saturday, November 23) as the new Kenya Cup season 2024/25 kicks off.
Reigning champions, Kabras Sugar Rugby, will start their title defence against promoted Impala RFC at the Kakamega ASK Showground.
The second match will see KCB RFC hosting newly-promoted side South Coast Pirates at KCB Sports Club in Ruaraka, Nairobi, while Kisumu RFC will travel to Nakuru to face off with Menengai Oilers at Nakuru ASK Showground.
Nondescripts are set to lock horns with varsity side Strathmore Leos at the Ngong Race Course in Nairobi whereas Kenya Harlequin will battle it out with Mwamba RFC at the RFUEA grounds.
In what promises to be a thrilling encounter, Kenyatta University’s’ Blak Blad will be taking on Nakuru RFC at the Kenyatta University grounds in the last match of the day.
The Kenya Cup 2024/25 season kick-off date was postponed from November 16, 2024 as announced earlier to November 23, 2024 following changes in the Kenya Simbas-Uganda Elgon Cup date where Kenya Simbas emerged champions.
The season will be of a one-off format, where top six teams will proceed to the playoffs, semifinals, and the final.
The playoffs are scheduled for Saturday, March 22, 2025, while the semifinals will be played on March 29, 2025 with the final being held on Saturday, April 12, 2025.
