It Will Be An All Ngong Road Final – Futie
You might have noticed that, as the league progressed, I got older, more rugby versed heads here, I am not sure I can go any further after this week’s guest. Before I go any further, I’d like to quickly acknowledge my guest here last week, the undertaker who narrowly edged me out. Well in Tito, and […]
Read More...Then, There Were Four
The journey to the Kenya cup title that started with 14, then went down to 6, is now down to four sides. Quins, Impala, Kabras and KCB. This weekend the penultimate round of the journey plays out along Ngong road. After sitting out last weekend, the Ngong road duo of Quins and Impala will be […]
Read More...Kabras and KCB March On To Semis
It was a weekend made for the ‘Ks’ as the undertaker had rightfully predicted, as Kabras and KCB booked their semi final slots in rather contrasting form. While Kabras were made to sweat it out in the last few minutes on their way to a 16-15 result in Kakamega, KCB had no such problems at […]

My guest for the play offs need no introduction to a rugby fan, especially one who reads this space frequently. We call him the Undertaker, Tito Oduk. I ran a feature on him 3 years ago, when he had first announced his retirement. Like all greats, the nerveless warrior didn’t honour his first call to […]
Read More...Who Will It Be For The Semis?
After 19 weeks of pulsating, edge of the seat, sometimes health hazardous action, 14 have become 6. From that 6, 4 will be in action this weekend to determine who will play in the Semi finals. For finishing 1st and 2nd, Impala and Kenya Harlequins will have a rest weekend, as Kabras Sugar, Nakuru RFC, […]
Read More...We Made It To The Promised Land
It was not a drill, it is not a dream, we finally made it to the promised land. After 17 long years, 142 grueling tournaments later, we can finally say Kenya sevens are champions. I can not go on any further without acknowledging the people who lay the foundation, that resulted in what we all […]
Read More...It All Boils Down To This
18 game weeks over a period of 6 months, 126 games, 10,080 minutes of play under the scorching sun and pouring rain, it all boils down to this. Game week 19, where we finally separate the title contenders from the pretenders, those made for the top flight and those who are not. Out of the […]
Read More...Kulabu, Kings Under The Rain.
I put it to you that if the Kenya Cup was to be played under the rain, every weekend, Mwamba RFC would be crowned champions. I came to this realisation, after watching the black shirts choke out a 10-5 win to complete the double over the Strathmore Leos at a rain drenched Railway club. Before […]
