Catholic Monks and Nondescripts clash in a rescheduled Kenya Cup fixture, slated for Saturday, February 17, 2024, at the Catholic University Ground in Karen, Nairobi. Originally scheduled for January 6, the match was postponed due to adverse weather conditions rendering the pitch unplayable.
This fixture holds significant importance for both teams. The Monks find themselves in a precarious position, currently residing in the relegation zone, positioned 11th with 6 points from 7 matches. They are in dire need of a bonus point victory to leapfrog Strathmore Leos into the 10th spot. Even a plain victory would bring them level on points with the Leos, setting the stage for an intense battle in the remaining three match days as the quest for Kenya Cup survival reaches its climax.
On the other hand, Nondescripts are relishing their return to the top flight after a season-long hiatus due to relegation. Occupying the sixth and final playoff spot, they are determined to secure a victory in Karen to solidify their position and bolster their playoff aspirations. A commanding bonus point win could even propel them into fifth place, enhancing their prospects further.
