Kabras RFC have made several changes to their squad ahead of the Kenya Cup encounter against Nondies slated for Kakamega Showgrounds on Saturday.

Mike Lukusi has been handed his first-ever Kenya Cup start, taking up the number nine jersey from Roy Maruti, who drops to the bench. He will partner with Barry Young at fly-half in a new-look halfback combination.

Kabras RFC switches

There are notable positional switches across the backline and forwards. Derrick Ashiundu moves into midfield where he will pair up with Walter Okoth, while Griffin Chao returns to the starting squad for the first time this year. Alfred Orege shifts to the blindside flank in the reshuffle.

Leading points scorer Eric Cantona retains his place at fullback as Kabras look to maintain their attacking edge. On the flanks, Orege starts on the blindside with Collins Indeche named among the replacements, while leading top try scorer Patrick Lumumba features on the openside. The second leading scorer Jeanson Misoga continues at number eight.

EDITOR’S PICKS:

In the second row, Hillary Odhiambo partners Clinton Litali in the absence of Shem Joseph and David Bunduki. Up front, club captain Eugine Sifuna returns from a slight knock and packs down alongside Edward Mwaura, while Michael Murithi earns his first Kenya Cup start in the front row.

Gibson Perez resumes his role as replacement hooker in the absence of co-captain Teddy Akala. Bryceson Adaka is also in line for his first Kenya Cup appearance after missing the better part of the season.
