Meanwhile, Pool C will feature Masinde Muliro, Rongai Morans, Nondies, and Mwea Eagles, adding to the fierce competition.
In Pool D, Nakuru RFC, Embu RFC, Presbyterian University, and Strathmore second-string side Catullus will vie for supremacy, while Pool E will showcase the talents of Catholic Monks, Administration Police, Chuka Vikings, and Menengai Zuri, Oilers second-string side.
