Match day ten across the Kenya Cup and the KRU Championship failed to reach full conclusion after three fixtures were abandoned, prompting the Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) fixtures committee to review the circumstances surrounding the affected matches and determine the appropriate course of action.
One of the key decisions involved the KRU Championship clash between Mean Machine and Mombasa RFC. The committee ruled in favour of the coastal side, awarding Mombasa RFC full points from the fixture. The match will be officially recorded as a 28–0 win for Mombasa RFC, while Mean Machine will also be docked two points.
According to the committee, the ruling was made after determining that the relevant competition regulations had been breached. The decision was guided by Regulation 13.6.4.6(b)(ii) on match abandonment together with Clause 8 of the 2025/26 league manual, which addresses match venues.
