Nondies have made several changes to their squad ahead of their Kenya Cup clash with defending champions Kabras RFC at Kakamega Showground on Saturday.
Yusuf Abdulahi will make his start in place of Elisha Koronya, joining Collins Odwori and Zachary Marowa in the front row.
In the second row, coach Calum Oliver has opted for a pairing of Hillary Baraza and Ryan Odua, with Maxwell Kipsang dropping to the ESS squad.
Skipper Steve Odhiambo will miss the trip to Kakamega, and Charles Omondi, Fred Shisia, and Tony Owuor will start in the back row.
Ronnie Omondi retains his role at scrum-half, while Fidens Tony steps in at fly-half due to Ian Mumbwani’s absence.

On the wings, Dan Okito will play on the left, with Wafula Sankara on the right, and Calvin Sheunda will start at full-back filling Tony’s void.
Nondies will be eager to end a two-match losing streak and avoid suffering a third consecutive defeat.
