They have an uphill battle against 1983 champions Mwamba in the early kickoff, with Kulabu coming into this game on a high, having claimed its first win of the season last weekend when they defeat Blak Blad 28-10.

Nakuru on the other hand enters the match from a 33-15 defeat suffered last weekend to Homeboyz.

Impala, the 10-time champions find themselves in unfamiliar territory, occupying the bottom spot having lost all five of their outings.

They head into the home clash against Blak Blad only too aware that another loss further jeopardizes their chances of maintaining their 25 year stay in the Kenya Cup.
