Saturday’s double header at the RFUEA Ground served up its fair share of drama starting with the opening fixture between Blak Blad and Menengai Oilers.

The visitors from Nakuru raced into a 12 – 0 lead but the students from Kenyatta University dug deep, levelling the scores. The 12-12 result was the first draw of the new campaign.

The day’s second clash between Kenya Harlequin and KCB seemed to be done and dusted at the interval, KCB taking a 22-6 lead into the break.

Quins second half response was furious,cutting the 16 point half time deficit to eventually KCB by two points on two occasions, at 27-25 and 35-32.

They were in it all through, pinning KCB on the ropes for large periods of this half.

KCB walked away with the 35-32 result but Quins certainly put up a fight. A great game of rugby it was,Quins number eight Joshua Chisanga a handful on offense and defense. He scored two tries and was unlucky to be on the losing side.
