NAIROBI, Kenya- Mwamba RFC kept their Kenya Cup playoff ambitions alive after edging out Resolution Impala Saracens RFC 15-11 on Saturday in the penultimate round of matches at the Nairobi Railway Club.

The win was Mwamba’s second in a row and it meant a lot for Kulabu as far as their dream of winning the Kenya Cup is concerned ahead of their final match against Nondescripts RFC.

Mwamba bagged four points that saw them climb to fourth on 38 points.

Menengai Oilers RFC, who lost 43-13 to champions KCB RFC in the other fixture hosted at the Lions Den in Ruaraka, dropped into fifth placer ahead of the knockout phase.

Elsewhere, Top Fry Nakuru RFC who are also eying a slot in the playoffs, fell 12-33 away to Kenya Harlequins RFC at the RFUEA Grounds in Nairobi.

Nakuru who occupied seventh position on 33 points before the match, needed maximum points in their final two matches and hope other results go their way to make the playoffs.

Nakuru’s final match is against Western Bulls RFC who were relegated on Saturday by Homeboyz after losing 6-56.
