Enterprise Cup defending champions Kabras KCB, Kenyatta University’s Blak Blad, and Kenya Harlequins are among the big guns that qualified for this year's quarterfinals.
The competition which is the oldest in the country will move to the quarterfinal stage following the completion of the round of 16 matches held on Saturday across various venues in Kenya.
Kabras will host the varsity side Strathmore Leos in one of the quarterfinal matchups at the ASK Kakamega Showground.
The sugarmen reached this stage after a walkover from Mwamba.
Just like their opponents, the Leos cruised to the quarters after Kabete Stallions forfeited their round of 16 matches.
2023/24 Kenya Cup semifinalists Nondies will lock horns with the University of Nairobi’s Mean Machine, who secured a slot quarterfinals after beating JKUAT 20-17. Nondies received a walkover from MKU Thika.
KCB will host Northern Suburbs at their Ruaraka Grounds after registering the biggest win of the weekend following a 70-3 win over Catholic Monks.
Northern Suburbs progressed to the quarterfinals after a walkover from Africa Nazarene University.
In another quarterfinal game, Kenyatta University’s Blak Blad will welcome their familiar foes Kenya Harlequin RFC.
Blak Blad booked a quarterfinal slot by whipping Impala 26-17 in a competitive round of 16 encounters.
The Enterprise Cup was initially an annual rugby union competition in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, though the competition has in the recent past become an all-Kenyan affair.
The original cup was donated by sailors from the HMS Enterprise, who had toured British East Africa in 1928.
The only years in which the competition has not been played are between 1940–1946 due to World War II, in 1987 because an international rugby competition was held on RFUEA Ground as part of the All Africa Games, and in 2012 when it ended in disarray.
Kabras are the defending champions after defeating rivals KCB Rugby 30-27 to defend their title.
