RFUEA Grounds will now host a double head of Saturday starting at 1:00 pm as the Kenya Cup action enters week five this weekend.

The venue has been picked to host the match pitting Nondies and struggling Homeboyz with the match scheduled to be the early kick-off match of the weekend. Nondies will head to the match eyeing the second win of the season with this being their first match of the year 2024 while Homeboyz are chasing the maiden win this season.

Another 1:00 pm kick-off will see Catholic Monks host Kisumu RFC at the CUEA Grounds. The venue was unplayable last weekend following heavy rains that pounded Nairobi before the weekend matches.
