On Saturday 22nd March 2025, the KRU Championship entered into the league playoff match-day with two games; one at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa in Karen and the other at Zetech University in Ruiru.
In Karen, third-placed CUEA Monks hosted the sixth-placed Homeboyz RFC to battle it out for a semifinal slot against the Daystar Falcons on 29th March while Zetech and JKUAT Cougars faced each other fighting for the semifinal final match against log leaders MMUST Rugby.
CUEA was victorious over the Homeboyz beating them 28-14 while the score between Zetech vs JKUAT showed that this was an edge-of-the-seat match. Zetech walked away with a 7-3 victory to book their semifinal spot. This will be Zetech’s first appearance in the semifinal while the other three teams have previously made it this far with MMUST and CUEA progressing to the Kenya Cup league. Daystar on the other hand, is yet to break this semifinal barrier and cross over to the top league. The past two seasons, they have been knocked out in the semis.
