Kabras Sugar host Homeboyz with Kenya Cup top spot at stake

Last season’s runners up Kabras Sugar will be hoping to maintain their unbeaten run in the 2021-2022 Kenya Cup season when they entertain relegation threatened Homeboyz at the Kakamega Showground which will host a double header on Saturday afternoon.

The Kenya Cup league will enter week 10, with six-second last matches lined up to be played in Nairobi, Nakuru and Kakamega.

Leaders Kabras will be in search of the 10th successive bonus point win of the season as they welcome the Deejays at the forest from 3pm.

For a while, ninth placed Homeboyz looked safe, but have found themselves in an equally precariously situation as they seek to retain their Kenya Cup status for a tenth consecutive year since their promotion in 2012.

They do have a herculean task ahead as they have to defeat the sugar men to remain safe.
