This weekend has set precedent of what National rugby should elicit. Rugby in its ethos is a community game and the community backing is what proppels global clubs and franchises to success. The link to the society is what determines whether at the very minimum, you have home advantage.  Kabras Rugby Club played host to the Kenya Cup final in a sold-out thriller versus arch rivals KCB, after having an impressive run of wins with no defeats. Their home advantage is something to ride on and has been a strength of the club for a while now with clubs that have won in the forest countable on one hand.  Kabras branded itself with the community of Kakamega town and the county and western region at large. It is the pride of the region. What sets them aside is the fact that the players are local boys who have come up in the region and are how playing at the highest level. This aside, Kabras is within the community, it is within touching distance of their home fans. This help

What a season this has been! Electrifying! Entertaining! and fan centric are the words I can find to define the 2022_23 Rugby season in Kenya as Champions Kabras cruised through the season undefeated.  The Kenya cup lived up to its billing by providing mouth-watering fixtures week in week out. The results of the final show it all. A closely contested league title between the big two clubs in the country at the moment.  The league was even tighter in the relegation fight as more that 6 teams were either tied on points or were a point from each other in the relegation zone. To guarantee yourself survival in the Kenya cup, a team has to gunner upwards of 15 points. This seems an easy fete however it is quite daunting to achieve. This is the fact as MMUST, and Fellow university students, Mean Machine failed to retain Kenya Cup status, and will take part in next seasons KRU Championship.  Seasoned Kenya Cup survivors Blak Blad made a quick escape from the drop zone by handing la

  So there is this lady I met in a club in Kimabu, we enjoyed the night and later I did what I did unfortunately.... So after like 1 month as we continued talking, the lady claimed she's seriously ill and like a gentleman, i saw it fit to send her some money to cushion the cost. We'd talk via video call at this stage, and every time I'd call, I'd see she's indeed in a hospital setting even sometimes seeing the doctor's white lab coat. This went on for like 2 months. I decided I  should go pay her a visit in hospital since it appeared to be a serious illness that someone is hospitalised for two months. I prepared myself and set a date to head over to diaspora, Rongai. Mark you for the two months, I have been going an extra mile for my sick friend and paid her rent without fail. As I was about to get on the Rongai Nganyaz, I called the lady and inquired for the specific hospital she was admitted at so as to avoid looking lost when i get to diaspora. The call went

Christmas, which is observed on December 25, is a holy religious event as well as a global cultural and economic event. People have been celebrating it with customs and rituals that are both religious and secular in nature for two millennia now.
