Kabras RFC have named promising speedster Adrian Khwesa in the squad set to face Menengai Oilers in the Enterprise Cup semi-final at Kakamega Showground on Saturday afternoon.
The former Butula youngster has been impressive in the Eric Shirley Shield, earning his opportunity to step up to the senior side where he is named among the substitutes.
Kabras will be without key players George Nyambua, Asuman Mugerwa, Walter Okoth, Barry Young and Alfred Orege, who are all set to feature in the Hong Kong 10s next weekend. The side will also miss Jeanson Misoga, who has been ruled out of the clash.
In the front row, Ephraim Oduor, Eugene Sifuna and Edward Mwaura get the nod. The second row features Hillary Odhiambo and Shem Joseph, while Collins Indeche and David Bunduki start on the flanks, with Patrick Lumumba anchoring the back row at number eight.
