Ahead of the Kenya Cup final against Kabras RFC at Kakamega Showground on Saturday at 3:00 PM, KCB Rugby have made two alterations to their starting lineup in the backline.

Shaban Ahmed will replace Brian Wahinya at fly-half, and vice-captain Darwin Mukidza will move to the right wing while Isaac Njoroge takes over as fullback. Michael Kimwele has been pushed to the bench.

Samuel Asati will retain his position as scrum-half, partnering with Shaban n the half-back positions. Peter Kilonzo and Maxwell Kangeri will remain in the midfield, having earned promotion back to the starting squad last weekend.

In the forward pack, there are no changes, with Oscar Simiyu, Curtis Lilako, and Wilfred Waswa forming the front row, while Elvis Olukusi and Davis Chenge are the locks. Andrew Amonde, Felix Ojoo, and Peter Waitere will complete the back row.

KCB Rugby will be aiming to maintain their perfect record against Kabras in the Kenya Cup finals, having won all five of their previous encounters.
