The Stephanie Rose Memorial Cup will serve as the curtain-raiser for the Legends Cup 2025.
The day’s events will kick off at 9:00 a.m. with age-grade rugby, followed by the Stephanie Rose Memorial Cup at 11:00 a.m. The highly anticipated Legends Game will headline the day, starting at 3:00 p.m.
Participating teams in the Stephanie Rose Memorial Cup include Mwamba, Impala, Kenya Harlequin Queens, and Northern Suburbs, promising fans a full day of exciting rugby action.
This year’s event marks the second leg of the competition, following the first leg held on May 24 at Kyadondo Rugby Club in Kampala, where Kenya Legends edged Uganda Legends 19-17 in a tense clash. That victory extended Kenya’s dominance in the annual veterans’ rugby showdown.
Kenya Legends have been in impressive form, having claimed both legs in 2024, winning 24-15 at the RFUEA Grounds and 26-15 in Kampala for a 50-30 aggregate triumph.
This followed a commanding 69-18 aggregate victory in 2023, stretching their winning streak to four straight victories over their Ugandan rivals.
