Menengai Oilers have named a strong matchday squad ahead of their Kenya Cup clash against MMUST RFC scheduled for Saturday afternoon at the Refinery Grounds in Nakuru.

The Nakuru-based side will be captained by experienced lock Ibrahim Ayoo, who anchors the second row and brings leadership to a pack that also features Collins Kabayo, Jadah Abdon, and Nelson Makhokha in the loose trio. Up front, Allan Ochieng, Fortune Aturo, and Vincent Mwikhali form the front row tasked with providing a solid scrum platform.

At halfback, Clarkson Keegan starts at scrum-half and partners Samuel Mwaura, who also serves as the vice-captain, in the key playmaking roles. The midfield pairing of Brian Achacha and Philip Okeyo will be responsible for directing traffic in attack, while Alvin Khavoli and Daniel Kipchirchir provide pace on the wings. Abutwalib Wesonga slots in at fullback to complete the back three.
