The Kenya Cup playoffs are set for April 18th, with four teams battling for a place in the semi-finals after a tightly contested regular season.
Menengai Oilers will take on Nondies RFC in what promises to be a high-stakes clash. Nondies sealed sixth place on the last weekend, sneaking into the playoff bracket, and now face an Oilers side that has been consistent all season but fell short of automatic qualification following losses to KCB Rugby and Kabras RFC.
The winner of this fixture will advance to the semi-finals to face KCB Rugby, who finished second and secured a direct last-four slot.

The other playoff fixture delivers an exciting varsity derby as Strathmore Leos host KU Blak Blad. Strathmore head into the clash with momentum after a strong fourth-place finish, while Blak Blad, who ended fifth, will be looking to upset their familiar rivals. The stakes are equally high, with the winner earning a daunting semi-final date against table-toppers Kabras Sugar RFC.
At the top, Kabras and KCB once again asserted their dominance by finishing first and second respectively, securing direct passage to the semi-finals.
