Oilers will pip KCB in the circuit standings with a Prinsloo 7s win.

Strathmore Leos and Menengai Oilers will contest in the final of the Prinsloo 7s after overcoming Homeboyz RFC and KCB RFC respectively with Oilers inching ever so closer to the circuit title.

Menengai Oilers booked their third final in a row after edging KCB RFC 19-14 in a nail biting semi final that saw Gibson Weru's side race to an early lead and they had the mental fortitude to wither a late storm from the Bankers to seal another final.

Strathmore Leos booked their place in the third final of the circuit after losing the Kabeberi 7s and earning some reprieve by clinching the Christie 7s a week later and earned another place in the final by whitewashing Homeboyz 26-5.

George 'Japolo' Ooro had a game for the books as he singlehandedly sent Leos to the final by scoring a hat-trick with his first try coming after dishing out two stools that left his opponents on their backside.

Kenya Harlequin recovered from their Main Cup qduarters loss to Strathmore Leos by compounding Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST) to a 26-5 victory as Quins qualified for the 5th place final.

MMUST will now contest for the 9th-10th place final as they lost their second consecutive game following an impressive Day 1 that saw them beat Menengai Oilers and cross town rivals Nakuru RFC.

Kabras Sugar RFC joined Kenya Harlequin in the final of the 5th place final after edging Mwamba RFC 21-19 in a see saw encounter that saw the Driftwood 7s champions come back from a 14-5 half time loss but the Sugarmen scored in the dying minutes to clinch the win.
