Kabras manage to get a win in their first game of the day unlike last weekend where they were defeated in their opening two games and dropped out of main cup contention.

Kabeberi 7s bronze finishers Oilers are up and running in their first game of the season.

Homeboyz close round one action in some style. There will be a ten minutes break before teams resume for their second pool matches.

Tables have turned here. Impala grab a first win in their second match while Falcons taste defeat. Still all to play for in this group.

The sugarmillers are on a roll here. They pick their second consecutive win and with that they secure their place in the main cup quarter finals tomorrow.
