The Main Cup quarter-finalists have been confirmed at the Kabeberi 7s, with Harlequins, KCB, and Oilers leading the field, according to The Eastleigh Voice. The three sides head the eight teams that will compete in the knockout stage of the tournament.
The Eastleigh Voice reports that the quarter-final lineup was set after the pool stage concluded on Saturday. KCB and Oilers also advanced, with the Standard Media outlet separately confirming that Kabras Sugar joined them in the last eight. The exact matchups and kickoff times for the quarter-finals have not been detailed in the available reports.
The Kabeberi 7s is part of the wider Kenyan rugby sevens circuit, and the results here carry standings implications. The Star notes that KCB’s performance at this event has given them a seven-point lead at the top of the SportPesa National Circuit standings. That context underscores the importance of the upcoming knockout rounds for the title contenders.
Elsewhere in Kenyan rugby, attention is also turning to the 15-a-side season. The Daily Nation reports that Blak Blad is chasing its first Kenya Cup title in the club’s 51-year history, while Mozzart Sport Kenya has noted that the club’s assistant captain is eyeing a return from injury at a specific upcoming tournament. Those storylines are separate from the sevens action but reflect the broader competitive landscape.
What to watch next: the Main Cup quarter-finals at Kabeberi 7s, where KCB will aim to extend their circuit lead and Harlequins and Oilers will look to disrupt the standings.
