Menengai Oilers have named a formidable Starting XV for their Kenya Cup showdown against KCB Rugby at Nakuru ASK Showground.

Co-captains Amos Obae and Ibrahim Ayoo will be leading the charge in a high-stakes encounter set for Nakuru.

Up front, Destrious Ifedha starts at loosehead prop, packing down alongside hooker Fortune Aturo and tighthead Vincent Mvikhali.

In the second row, Ibrahim Ayoo takes his place at lock and carries leadership responsibilities, partnering with Charles Osgood. T

The back row sees co-captain Amos Obae slot in at openside flanker. He is joined by Jadah Abdon on the blindside and Samuel Were at number eight.

EDITOR’S PICKS:

At halfback, Clarkson Keegan starts at scrum-half and will be tasked with dictating tempo, linking up with fly-half Samuel Mwaura, who takes control of tactical kicking and game management.

In midfield, John Okoth lines up at inside centre, partnering  his brother John Okoth to provide defensive solidity and attacking thrust in the 12–13 channel.

The back three features speedster on one wing, Daniel Kipchirchir on the opposite flank, and Abutwalib Wesonga at fullback.

On the bench, Celestine Mboi, Allan Ochieng and Victor Were provide front-row cover, while Collins Kabayo and Chrispine Shitundo offer reinforcement in the forwards. Samson Onsomo and Brian Achacha add versatility in the backline, with Denis Abukuse rounding out the matchday 23.
