In Embu, they have been pooled alongside Kabras RFC, Daystar Falcons, and Impala RFC, in what promises to be a competitive group stage.
Having previously enjoyed success in Embu when the tournament last hosted a leg of the National 7s Circuit, Ojal’s charges will be out to replicate that form and close the gap on the frontrunners
