Kenya Legends secured their third consecutive Legends Cup title with a dominant 51-18 victory over Uganda at the RFUEA Grounds, the biggest win in the history of this fixture.
The result marked Kenya’s sixth consecutive win over Uganda and delivered the largest aggregate scoreline yet, a combined 70-35 across the two legs.
Kenya Legends slim lead
Uganda came into the clash aiming to beat Kenya for the first time in six meetings, having narrowly lost the 2025 first leg 19-17.
Kenya wasted no time asserting dominance as Wilson Kopondo crossed over in the second minute after a neat short ball from Darwin Mukidza. Tito Oduk slotted the extras for a 7-0 lead.
Uganda responded in the 11th minute with a penalty from their fly-half to cut the gap to 7-3, but the hosts hit back in the 26th minute. Tony Owuor powered off the back of a scrum to score under the posts, and the conversion made it 14-3.
After the break, Collins Injera extended Kenya’s lead with a trademark finish, slicing through the defence after receiving an inside pass from Lavin Asego. The Legends took a commanding 19-3 advantage into halftime.

Uganda struck early in the second half through Michael Wokorach, who powered down the left wing to score in the corner. However, Kenya quickly restored control in the 49th minute when Injera tapped a penalty and released Victor Sudi to score, pushing the lead to 24-8.
Vincent Mose then joined the scoresheet, stepping inside the defence to score as Mukidza added the extras for a 31-8 lead.
Kenya’s dominance continued with Edwin Machanje grounding another try, Mukidza converting for 39-8. Uganda responded with a converted try from a penalty move before adding another through an eight-man pick in the 71st minute to close the gap to 39-18.
But Kenya wasn’t done. Injera completed his brace with a blistering run off Owuor’s short pass before Mose also bagged his second try in the dying minutes to seal the 51-18 win, Kenya’s biggest victory in Legends Cup history.
