The match is a repeat of last season’s final that saw Mwamba edge Impala 15-11 to be crowned inaugural winners of the Women's Kenya Cup.
Mwamba RFC and Impala Roans are set to renew their rivalry once again in the 2023 Championship decider when they meet in this season’s Women’s Kenya Cup final set to be staged at the Impala Club on Saturday 11 March 2023.
The two sides, having been a cut above the rest this season, rightfully secured their places in the title decider after emerging unscathed from their semifinal fixtures.
