Defending champions KCB Rugby will renew their rivalry with Nondescripts when they face off in the 2022 Impala Floodlights finals on Saturday.
The bankers booked a spot in the finals after edging Blak Blad 14-03 at Impala Grounds last weekend.
The hotly contested affair saw Blak Blad draw first blood after they capitalized on a loose ball to get three points in the early minutes of the game.
The bankers would respond back with a cheeky try by Bob Muhati to give the bankers a lead in the first half. The game ended 7-3 at intervals in KCB's favor.
In the second half, both teams yearned to get into the finals, but KCB's Brian Wahinya's try cemented the banker's lead to eliminate the varsity side from the competition.
