Kabras RFC hand Kenya 7s duo starts against Nondies in Kenya Cup semis

Kabras RFC head coach Carlos Katywa has made seven changes to his squad ahead of their Kenya Cup semi-final clash against Nondies at Kakamega Showground on Saturday 3:00 p.m.

Among the notable changes is the return of Kevin Wekesa and Lamec Ambesta, who rejoin the starting squad after missing their previous 14-10 victory over KCB due to national team assignments.
