Kenya Harlequin FC booked their place in the Enterprise Cup quarterfinals after seeing off Catholic Monks 29-5 in one of the few fully contested fixtures in a Round of 16 stage that was largely defined by walkovers.
The Quins managed to outscore Catholic Monks who were the second Championship side to feature in the competition after the other Championship side gave walkovers.
Their victory stood out on a weekend where several Kenya Cup sides progressed without taking to the field. They join Strathmore Leos produced who came from behind to beat KRU Championship side Zetech Oaks 32-17 at the Strathmore Complex.

KU BlakBlad also progressed after a 28-0 walkover over Mwamba RFC.
With the quarterfinal lineup now confirmed, attention shifts to the last eight where Kenya Cup heavyweights Kabras Sugar, KCB Rugby and Menengai Oilers remain firmly in the hunt as the Enterprise Cup edges closer to its decisive stages.
