Kenya’s most decorated rugby club Nondescripts is keen to end Kabras Sugar’s three season unbeaten run when they face off with the defending Kenya Cup champions in the semifinals set for Saturday at Kakamega Showgrounds.

Kabras RFC will be looking to continue their dominant run as they take on a resurgent Nondescripts RFC, who have surprised many this season with their resilience and strong performances.

Fredrick Shisia, Nondies' player, spoke about the team’s journey to the semi-finals and the belief within the squad.

“According to me and our side, I believe that we've worked very hard to get to where we are. Every game has had its ups and downs, but we have pushed through, and that’s why we are here today. We know we are playing against Kabras, and we expect them to come hard at us, but we are prepared, and we know what they are going to bring. Our biggest strength is our team bonding and the way we push each other to show up for training and give our best every time we step on the pitch."

As one of Kenya’s most historic rugby clubs, Nondescripts RFC has worked tirelessly to reclaim its place among the country's top rugby teams, and Shisia is hopeful that their performance will be rewarded.

“We really appreciate Tusker for coming on board. They have seen how much effort we put in to reach this stage, and it means a lot to have that kind of support. It will be even more special if the best teams get the recognition they deserve."

He also called on fans to rally behind the team.

"To our supporters, this has been a long journey, and you have been with us from the start. We encourage you to come out in numbers and support us because we will not let you down."
