Quins Stun Kabras To Go Fourth
The Kenya Harlequin produced a gritty performance to edge out the pre-match favourites Kabras 19-17 in the highlight of Kenya Cup match day 2 action.

I’ll make this as quick and painless as possible, for me. For after back to back wins, I finally stumbled on a narrow loss. Ironically, the fixture that tilted the axis for Skarra was the one where we went against our ‘respective’ clubs. Here are those results : Skarra KCB 20-15 Impala. Result KCB 26-14. […]
