The Stephanie Rose Memorial Cup will serve as the curtain-raiser for the Legends Cup 2025.
The day will begin at 9:00 a.m. with age-grade rugby, followed by the Stephanie Rose Memorial Cup at 11:00 a.m. The Legends Game will headline the day’s activities, kicking off at 3:00 p.m.
Teams competing in the Stephanie Rose Memorial Cup include Mwamba, Impala, Kenya Harlequin Queens, and Northern Suburbs, ensuring fans a full day of thrilling rugby action.
This year’s event marks the second leg of the competition, following the first leg held on May 24 at Kyadondo Rugby Club in Kampala, where Kenya Legends edged Uganda Legends 19-17 in a tense contest. That win extended Kenya’s dominance in the annual veterans’ rugby showdown.
The Kenya Legends have been in fine form, having claimed both legs in 2024, winning 24-15 at the RFUEA Grounds and 26-15 in Kampala for a 50-30 aggregate victory.
This followed a commanding 69-18 aggregate triumph in 2023, stretching their winning streak to four consecutive victories over their Ugandan rivals.
