Coverage will begin from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, as Kabras Rugby takes on Menengai Oilers in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
What have the coaches said ahead of the clash?
Menengai Oilers coach Gibson Weru is already focused on setting the record straight in Nakuru.
“We’ll learn from that, get better, and prepare for the next final in the Enterprise Cup against them. This time, we’ll make sure we come out victorious,” he added.
Katywa unhappy ahead of the match
Kabras Sugar Head coach Carlos Katywa is a worried man though, especially with the nature in which they won the Kenya Cup by only a point, so he knows going to Nakuru to complete the double will not be easy.
"I'm happy for the boys. As a coach, personally, I'm slightly disappointed because this game shouldn't have gone to the wire, and it shouldn't have been this close. There are a lot of issues—discipline within our group.
"I'm excited, I'm happy, but there's a lot that needs to be done. It might be the end of the season, but this is not the way we want to end it. We want to be on top of the world.
"I mean, most of these guys are going to the national team. If this is the attitude and everything they’re going to take with them, it's something I'm very worried about."
If Menengai win they will become only the 19th side to lift the holy grail of East African Rugby. Defending champs Kabras Sugar RFC are four time title holders and will be keen to extend their reign.
