The RFUEA Grounds on Ngong Road will play host to a spectacular festival of rugby this Saturday, headlined by a highly anticipated cross-border clash as defending champions Kabras Sugar RFC take on Uganda’s Stanbic Black Pirates in the Enterprise Cup final.
The match, scheduled for a 3PM kick-off, forms the centerpiece of a jam-packed Super Sato itinerary organized by the Kenya Rugby Union and main sponsor Sportpesa.
The weekend showpiece expertly blends domestic cup finals with the international sevens action, promising world-class sporting entertainment for the fans in attendance.
Kabras Sugar, who have enjoyed an unyielding dominant streak in the local scene, face a unique regional test in the Black Pirates, who are on a historic run.
Coached by Carlos Kaytwa, the five-time consecutive Kenya Cup champions booked their final spot after defeating Menengai Oilers 29-20 in a fierce semifinal clash at the ASK Showground in Kakamega.
Meanwhile, the Black Pirates have electrified the tournament upon the return of Ugandan sides to the competition, staging a stunning campaign that saw them eliminate former tournament favorites KCB RFC in the quarterfinals before edging out Nondescripts 20-17 at the Kings Park Arena in Kampala.
