Impala RFC head coach Louis Kisia has made three changes to his squad for the Kabeberi 7s set for RFUEA Grounds this weekend.
The coach will be without Trevor Opondo, Brandon Opiyo, and Timothy Makiya. In their place, he has handed a debut to Boniface Ogot while also recalling Jeff Ochieng.
Impala RFC retained
Key players Reynold Anduvate, Calistus Simiyu, Amon Bwambok, Sultan Mikael, Matoka Matoka, and Derrick Kinyari have been retained.
Captain Quinto Ongo will continue to lead the side, which also includes David Nyangige, who finished as the team’s top scorer last weekend.

Impala are drawn in a tough pool alongside their rivals Kenya Harlequin, Strathmore Leos, and Mwamba RFC.
The Gazelles last lifted the Kabeberi 7s title in 2017, when they beat Menengai Oilers 22-5 to retain the crown. Ongo is the only surviving member of that squad.
