Driftwood draw out

NAIROBI, October 14 – Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) will get the chance to avenge their Kenya Cup decider loss to Kenya Harlequins when both clubs clash in Pool C of this weekend’s Driftwood Sevens at Mombasa Sports Club.

Hosts Mombasa and Kenyatta University’s Blak Blad make up the rest of what is undoubtedly the group of death in the national sevens circuit’s marquee event.

Reigning national and Prinsloo champions Mwamba renew acquaintances with Strathmore University in Pool A after the black shirts eliminated the college side in the main cup quarter finals in Nakuru last weekend overwhelming the students 39-0.

Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) and Daystar University will also be seeking to make their mark in this pool.

Prinsloo finalists Impala have been granted a favourable draw at the Coast and should have too much firepower for Mean Machine, Kenya College of Accountancy (KCA) and Nazarene University in Pool B.

Nakuru RFC hope to build on last week’s impressive outing on their home turf when they take on Pool D rivals Nondies, Prinsloo bowl winners Masinde Muliro University and United States International University-Africa (USIU-A).

Mombasa Sports Club II and Mombasa Polytechnic have been placed on standby in case any of the drawn clubs fail to turn up.

Driftwood Sevens draw:

Pool A: Mwamba, Strathmore University, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, Daystar University.
