Kabras RFC, Nakuru RFC, Menengai Cream, and Zuri made a strong start in the Great Rift 10s tournament, keeping their semi-final hopes alive with impressive two victories at Nakuru Athletic Club.
In their opening match in pool C, Kabras RFC narrowly edged past Strathmore Leos with a hard-fought 7-5 win.
