Kenya rugby powerhouse Kabras Sugar will be keen to continue their dominance when they face off against Menengai Oilers in the Enterprise Cup final to be played tomorrow at the ASK Showground in Nakuru.

This year’s final marks a shift from the traditional RFUEA Grounds, which has hosted the event in previous years.

The last time the Cup final was hosted in Nakuru was in 1964, but at the Nakuru Athletics Club. NAC Rugby were defending champions, and they took on Kenya Harlequins.

It will be the first-ever Enterprise Cup final meeting between Kabras and Oilers. However, it will be their third consecutive encounter in as many weekends.

The two sides recently faced off in the Kenya Cup final, where Kabras edged Oilers 27-26 to retain their crown.

A week later, the Oilers responded with a 15-0 win over Kabras in the Great Rift 10s, claiming their first title in the tournament since 2019.

Now, they will clash in what many consider a tie-breaker to show who is the best.

To Kabras Sugar, they have approached every game like a final for the last four years, which has enabled them to clinch Kenya Cup trophy for four consecutive seasons.

Kabras coach Carlos Katywa observed that they are not under any pressure. He has no specific area in the team he intends to give utmost priority ahead of the finals.

“All systems deserve attention to detail. For the last four years, every game for Kabras is a final. I strongly believe we are the only ones that can put ourselves under pressure,” said Katywa.

He rallied Kabras Sugar fans to show up in large numbers to cheer the boys in Nakuru. Enterprise Cup remains the oldest rugby tournament in Kenya having started in 1930.

The organisers of the event have put in place necessary arrangements with a view to ensuring that the final is held successfully.

As usual, again the looming contest is pitted to be between two brothers: Tejveer Rai, who is the Managing Director of West Kenya Sugar which sponsors Kabras Sugar, and his younger brother Onkar Rai, the Managing Director of Menengai Oilers which sponsors Oilers.
