However, Quins will not be easy pushover after pulling what many cannot do in a span of one year. Last season, Quins survived relegation by a whisker and this year they are in the playoffs.

They began their campaign with three straight losses but their turnaround under first term coach Paul Murunga has been nothing short of extraordinary.

The RFUEA based side have gone from also rans to semifinalists and will be out to give the defending champions a run for their money before a highly passionate and vocal crowd in Kakamega.

It will be recalled that their last win over Kabras was during a regular season fixture way back in 2017, a 19-13 result on the day.
