Resolution Impala Saracens winger Quinto Ongo holds a one-point lead atop the Kenya Cup points scorers chart heading into match day nine fixtures scheduled for Saturday.
Ongo has 55 points coming off 1 try, 12 penalties and 7 conversions.
This is despite the clubs poor form in the 2021-2022 Kenya Cup season which has seen them win only two matches and lose six as the league enters a penultimate stage.
The results have left Impala fighting to avoid relegation as they remain 11th in the log with 10 points with three games remaining till the end of the regular season.
Ongo is closely followed by KCB and Kenya utility back Darwin Mukidza who is on 54 points, having managed 2 tries, 2 penalties and 19 conversions.
Kabras Sugar’s Ntabeni Dukisa and Mwamba’s Brian Kivasia are joint third on 51 points.
