Mare was linked with a move to South Coast Pirates but the move seems to have failed to materialize. Eric Cantona also made his first 15s appearance for the Kabras RFC in the match against Simbas having been part of the 7s campaign.
The Simbas match also saw Steve Olouch mark his return to action after a lengthy absence. Kabras RFC are preparing to face Shamberere in the Lake Victoria Cup quarters at Kakamega Showground on Saturday at 1:PM
