In the half-back pairing, Brian Mwendwa starts at scrum-half with Arnold Muita pulling the strings at fly-half. The midfield will feature Morgan Ochiel and Elton Amalemba, while pace and finishing out wide are offered by Collins Maina and Nahashon Mwangemi. Amon Wamalwa slots in at fullback to complete the starting XV.
The bench offers depth across all positions, with Maxwell Atera, Bramwel Anekea and Jack Angawa covering the front row, Duke Odenyo providing lock cover, and Barnabas Owuor adding loose forward options. Daryl Wendo, Felix Njenga and Victor Sanganyi give backline cover and impact off the bench.
The match will also be played in loving memory of the late Ouma, as the Leos look to put in a spirited performance against Kabras Sugar in their Kenya Cup campaign.
