All focus will be on ten times champions Impala Saracens as the 2021-2022 Kenya Cup action continues with match day six matches lined up on Saturday across Nairobi, Nakuru and Kakamega.
After five rounds played, Impala occupy the bottom position in the Kenya Cup log with no points after losing all their opening five matches.
With the games coming in thick and fast, the focus this weekend is on the lower end of the table where former champions Impala have a handful of games to turn around their season.
Impala Saracens, ten time Kenya Cup champions find themselves in unfamiliar territory, occupying the 12th and last place in the country’s top tier.
