NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 29 – Mwamba Rugby Club booked a Kenya Cup playoff slot after mauling Nondescript 55-22 in one of the final round of matches played at the Jahmhuri Showground to finish fifth.  

With the win, Mwamba will lock horns with fourth place finishers Impala Saracens who were handed a walkover by relegated Kisumu RFC.

The winner between Impala and Mwamba will then likely take on Kabras in Cup semifinals.

Impala won first leg 26-24 against Mwamba back in November while Mwamba won the reverse fixture 15-11 just a week ago.

In other playoff pairings, Homeboyz will take on Oilers at the Jahmhuri Park.

In the other results of the final round, defending champions KCB were held to a 22-22 draw by Homeboyz, Blak Blad fell 3-15 to Kabras Sugar while Oliers thrashed Kenya Harlequin 39-13.
