Kenya Cup champions Kabras Sugar will renew their rivalry with Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST RFC) in the inaugural

Victoria Cup finals set to be played at the Kakamega Showgrounds from 4pm in Kakamega. On Saturday.

The two sides have been in good form heading into the championship match, and have certainly jumped at the opportunity to use this tournament as a build-up to the 2022/23 league season which kicks off in just over two weeks.

To reach the final, Kabras overcame hosts Kisumu 14-10 in last weekend's semifinal action at the Jomo Kenyatta Stadium in Mamboleo. They had earlier registered a 46-0 win over Mbale in the quarter.

Masinde Muliro, on the other hand, began their campaign with a 51-0 quarterfinal victory over Eldoret before defeating local rivals Western Bulls 29-10 in last weekend's semifinal in Kisumu.

This final fixture will be preceded by the third-place playoff between Kisumu and Western Bulls.

The Millers and MMUST will be looking to win the trophy to head into the Kenya Cup season that kicks off on November 26 with a trophy.
