The stage is set for the second leg of the 2026 National Sevens Circuit with the Kenya Rugby Union releasing the fixtures for the 23rd edition of the Dala 7s, scheduled for August 1-2 in Kisumu.
Following an entertaining curtain-raiser at the Prinsloo 7s in Nakuru, teams will now battle for crucial circuit points at the Jomo Kenyatta International Stadium, Mamboleo, while Division Two matches will be played at the Kisumu National Polytechnic.
Defending circuit champions KCB Rugby head into the tournament on the back of their Prinsloo 7s triumph and will begin their campaign against Impala RFC before taking on Zetech Oaks and MMUST in Pool A.
Last weekend’s runners-up Kabras Sugar face an early test against Strathmore Leos before meeting Embu RFC and Nakuru RFC in Pool D.
