The race for the Top Try Scorer in the Kenya Cup season is shaping up into a fascinating contest, with Kabras Sugar RFC once again stamping their authority at the top of the charts.
According to stats by Kenya Cup’s official portal, Jeanson Misoga and Patrick Lumumba currently lead the standings with eight tries each, underlining Kabras’ attacking dominance.
Close behind the leaders is a strong chasing pack on six tries, featuring Branton Lusisa of KCB Rugby, Daniel Kipchirchir and Beldad Ogeta of Menengai Oilers, as well as Kabras duo Eric Cantona and Teddy Akala. KU BlakBlad’s Obat Kuke has also kept pace in this bracket.
A trio of players are tied on five tries, with Bramwel Kilwake turning out for KCB Rugby, Mathias Osimbo representing Kabras Sugar, and Alvin Khavoli for Menengai Oilers.
Several players have notched four tries so far, including Kabras’ Roy Maruti and Rayvon Ambale, KCB’s Felix Ojoo, Menengai’s Felix Okoth, Timothy Omela and Samuel Were, alongside Phillip Okeyo of Oilers, Elvis Otete of KU BlakBlad and Fidens Onyango of Nondies.
On three tries, Menengai Oilers are again well represented through John Okoth and Ibrahim Ayoo, while Kabras Sugar have Asuman Mugerwa and Walter Okoth. KCB’s Brian Wahinya and Mike Wekesa also feature, with contriutions from Victor Mola and Collins Maina of Strathmore Leos, Brian Kadenge and Geoffrey Magoro of Nondescripts, and Chris Obuya of Daystar Falcons.

The battle for the Top Kickers in the Kenya Cup has been just as intense as the race for tries. Leading the charts is Enock Oduor of KU BlakBlad with 61 points, making him the most reliable marksman so far this season.
Hot on his heels is Eric Cantona of Kabras Sugar RFC on 56 points. Cantona has been instrumental in Kabras’ dominance. Third on the list is Timothy Omela of Menengai Oilers with 52 points.
A significant gap follows, with Faran Juma of Kenya Harlequin FC on 37 points and Javan Otieno of Nakuru RFC close behind on 35. Both have carried much of the scoring responsibility for their teams, frequently stepping up in key moments.
Eric Cantona leads the Kenya Cup scoring charts with 86 points, holding off Menengai Oilers’ Timothy Omela and KU BlakBlad’s Enock Oduor in a tightly contested race
