Kenya Cup numbers: Ogeta leads try-scoring charts entering Week Three

Menengai Oilers' Beldad Ogeta leads the try-scoring chart after Kenya Cup week two action.

The fleet-footed speedster has scored five tries in the opening two matches.

The lanky winger, who is also a Kenya Simbas international, will be hoping to continue with his fine form when the Oilers welcome Strathmore Leos at the Refinery on Saturday.

He is closely followed by Kabras Sugar’s Derrick Ashihundu on four tries.

Ashiundu was leading the chart after his week one impressive showing against Kisumu RFC, where he scored four tries.

Ashiundu was making his maiden Kenya Cup appearance since March 2022, having sustained an injury during the final leg of the 2022 National Sevens Circuit against Daystar Falcons in Kakamega.

He made his return to action in the sevens circuit in the Tisap 7s in Eldoret after a lengthy layoff.

KCB’s Austin Sikutwa and Kabras Sugar’s George Nyambua are on three tries each.

Another 18 players are on two tries each.

Ogeta also leads the overall scoring charts; joint top with Sikutwa on 25 points, with Samuel Omolo from Catholic Monks second on 22 points.

Ashihundu is third on 20 points, with Ntabeni Dukisa rounding off the top four with 18 points.

The Impala winger is followed on the try scorers charts by Patrick Odongo (Daystar Falcons), Brian Ochieng (Impala), and Augustine Owino (Daystar Falcons) on two tries each.

He also leads the points scorers ahead of David Masinga (JKUAT Cougars,19 points) and Eddy Wambugu (Daystar Falcons, 14 points).
