Defending champions Kabras Sugar FC will be eying to complete a four-peat by booking their ninth consecutive Kenya Cup final when they host Nondescripts in a high stake semifinal playoff match on Saturday at Kakamega Showgrounds in Kakamega.

After topping the regular-season standings, they secured a direct semi-final spot for the sixth consecutive year.

Nondies, Kenya Cup’s most successful club, have made an impressive return to the top flight, reaching the semis for a second straight season.

They punched their ticket to the last four with a commanding 38-22 win over Kenya Harlequin in the playoffs, completing a season double over their old rivals.

In Nairobi, former champions KCB face a huge test when they face off with Menengai Oilers in another semis.

The Bankers, aiming to reclaim the title they last won in 2021, finished second on the log for the sixth straight season, securing an automatic semi-final berth.

Meanwhile, Menengai Oilers extended their remarkable consistency by reaching their fifth consecutive semi-final.
