Their objective is to finish even more powerfully than their third-place result in the previous round while also defending the maiden title they claimed in 2024.
However, their group is no walk in the park, as they’ve been drawn alongside the impressive Catholic Monks, who currently sit sixth overall and have enjoyed a solid season.
They will also face formidable opponents in Nakuru RFC and another competitive university side, MMUST.
Pool B is led by Daystar Falcons, joined by MSC Rugby, Kenya Harlequin – who have struggled this season despite being the reigning champions and Nondescripts.

Meanwhile, the overall leaders and three-time event champions this season, KCB, will headline Group C as they look to secure the overall championship.
To claim the title, they must advance to the semifinals. In the group stage, they are set to face Mwamba RFC, Homeboyz RFC, and Embu RFC.
Elsewhere, having stumbled at the Kabeberi 7s over the weekend, Strathmore Leos another formidable side this season with two victories, will be seeking to bounce back in pursuit of the overall title.
They currently sit in second place, just nine points behind the Bankers.
Therefore, the Willis Ojal-led side must reach the finals to position themselves favorably for the overall championship.
However, to progress beyond the group stage, they will have to dig deeper as they have been placed alongside heavyweights Menengai Oilers, Impala RFC, and the hosts, Kisumu RFC in pool D.
