NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 25 – Defending champions KCB will be hoping to start the season on a positive note when they host newly promoted side Western Bulls at their Ruaraka Lions Den as the 2019/20 Kenya Cup season kick-off.

Last season’s runners up Kabras Sugar welcomes Kisumu RFC at the Kakamega Showground.

Kisumu and Western Bulls earned their spot in the top tier league after reaching the Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) Championship final.

Nairobi will host three more matches with Homeboyz taking on Kenya Harlequin at the Jamhuri Showground in one of the highlights of the day before Nondescripts lock horns with Impala Saracens in a double header.

Mwamba will make the short journey to Kenyatta University to face Blakblad while Menengai Oilers start off their season against their big brothers Nakuru at the Nakuru ASK with the match scheduled to kick off at 4:00pm.
