The decision was guided by the KRU regulations on delay in Kick-off time, Match abandonment and Player safety as quoted in the released statement.
“This LFC decision has been guided by KRU Regulations 13.6.4.4 (Delays in Kick-off times), 13.6.4.6 b (ii) (Match Abandonment) and Regulation 8.3 a-c on Player Safety alongside available and provided guidelines by KRU on medical/player safety guidelines and bare minimums.”
The Kenya Harlequin will face KCB rugby who have been defiant as they have maintained an over 40 winning streak over their opponents.
The second semi finals will see Kabras Sugar Rugby, who have earned all their qualification through walkovers, taking on Nondescript.
The semi finals matches are set for 1st June and the finals set for 8th June to avoid a conflicting schedule with the Rugby Super Series.
