Kabras Sugar eyeing fourth straight Kenya Cup win as they battle Menengai Oilers

Kabras Sugar are expecting a tough test from Menengai Oilers when the two sides meet in the Kenya Cup Final to be held Saturday at the Kakamega ASK grounds.

Kabras, enjoying a dominant run, wound up the regular season unbeaten with 52 points after winning all their regular season matches.

Their dominance has extended to 39 consecutive unbeaten Kenya Cup matches since February 2022. They won the Kenya Cup in 2024, 2023, and 2022.

They booked their spot in the final after a commanding 45-6 win over Nondescripts RFC in the semis on March 29.

Speaking ahead of the final, Kabras Sugar Head Coach Carlos Katywa said his team is confident of defending their title.

"We’ve had a strong season and are proud of the consistency the team has shown so far. Preparations for the final have been going well, and the boys are focused and ready for the challenge ahead. We’re not taking anything for granted; reaching another final is an honour, but the job is not done yet," he told Radio Generation Sport.

He also stated his utmost respect for final rivals the Oilers, who shocked KCB 31-8 in their Semifinal clash also played March 29 and believes that they represent capable Kenya Cup finalists.

"We have a lot of respect for Menengai Oilers. They’ve been outstanding this season and have proven they can match up against any team as we witnessed during the semis," he shared.

"Saturday’s game will be tough, but we are determined to give our fans a performance worthy of another Kenya Cup title. Expect a physical, tactical, and passionate battle, the kind of rugby the Kenya Cup final deserves."

The final will kick off Saturday at 3 pm local time and will take place a few weeks ahead of the Enterprise Cup Final where the two will meet once again.
