Christie 7s Pools unveiled as rugby circuit heats up for third leg showdown

The race for the National Sevens Circuit title is set to intensify as the Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) has released the Division One pool draws for the upcoming Christie Sevens.

The 58th edition of the prestigious tournament, scheduled for August 16-17 at the RFUEA Grounds, marks a pivotal third leg that could significantly reshape the leaderboard.

With the circuit’s top teams, Strathmore Leos and KCB, currently tied on 41 points after two legs, all eyes will be on their performance.

The Leos, riding high on confidence after successfully defending their Prinsloo 7s title, are the top seeds in Pool A.

They will face off against Kenya Harlequins, Zetech Oaks, and an Invitational team, aiming to build on their impressive momentum.

KCB, the winners of the season-opening Driftwood 7s, will be looking for a strong comeback in Pool D. The Bankers, who suffered a disappointing loss to Strathmore in the Prinsloo final, will have their work cut out for them against Mwamba RFC, Nondescripts, and Division Two winners Blak Blad.

This pool promises high-stakes action as KCB attempts to reignite their title charge.

One of the most anticipated matchups will feature in Pool C, which is headlined by a fierce Rai Derby between Menengai Oilers and defending Christie 7s champions Kabras Sugar.

Kabras, currently in seventh place, will be eager to defend their crown and climb the standings against the Oilers, Daystar Falcons, and Invitational 3.

Pool B rounds out the draws, featuring a compelling mix of seasoned clubs: Catholic Monks, Nakuru RFC, Impala RFC, and Invitational 2.

All three of the main clubs in this pool will be fighting to improve their circuit standing and make a statement at one of the most historic tournaments on the calendar.

As the rugby community converges on the RFUEA Grounds, fans can expect a spectacle filled with intense competition as teams jostle for supremacy in the highly competitive National Sevens Circuit.
