Series leaders Kabras Sugar are top seeds in the Prinsloo Sevens that kicks-off with Age Grading Championships at Nakuru Athletic Club this morning.
Kabras are in Pool A alongside Kisumu RFC, Homeboyz and Western Bulls and are expected to easily reach the knockout stages.
Arch-rivals Nakuru RFC and Menengai Oilers lock horns again in the fourth derby this season in the Pool B fixtures in what is expected to be an explosive match tomorrow.
The two sides met in the Dala Sevens in Kisumu three weeks and Nakuru RFC won the match 19-14 and Menengai Oilers head coach Menengai Oilers head coach Gibson Weru said he’s not taking the defeat lightly.
“Whenever we meet (with Nakuru RFC), it has always been a tough match. And in derbies, a team does not easily clinch two consecutive victories in a row and they (Nakuru) know this and they should be ready for a dose of a similar medicine,” Weru told Standard Sports.
