Kabras Sugar are seeking a third straight cup win as the Christie Sevens, the fourth leg of the National Sevens Circuit, takes place at Nairobi’s RFUEA Ground on Saturday and Sunday.
Kabras moved seven points clear at the top of the standings after beating Kenya Harlequin 10-5 to win the Prinsloo Sevens in Nakuru last weekend, following up on their win at the Driftwood tournament in Mombasa last month.
Victory saw them collect another 22 points to take their tally to 63 points after cup final defeat in Kisumu and victory in Mombasa.
