Kabras Sugar RFC have handed Brian Tanga and Kevin Wekesa spots in the matchday 23 ahead of their Kenya Cup semi-final clash against Blak Blad at Kakamega Showground on Saturday, with kickoff set for 3:00 p.m.
Jackson Siketi earns a starting role in yet another semi-final, marking his first Kenya Cup start of 2026 after recovering from a concussion. Siketi, who starred in last year’s semi-final with two tries and an assist, starts on the wing in the absence of Griffin Chao, who features in the Eric Shirley Shield.
