Week 1 of the Kenya Cup sees a weird start to the competition. Whereas the start of the season is supposed to be a bang, with teams releasing pent up aggression and tactics for the new season, we have a situation where two sides are "resting" in the first weekend of competition! A big first for Kenya Rugby once more (tfic). That aside, if the friendlies that took place last weekend are anything to go by, it may be the start of the most interesting season of recent times. What with Homeboyz poised to join the Kenya Cup at the end of it, are the rules now clear? Will there be promotion and relegation from the Kenya Cup? Or will it be an expanded Kenya Cup?
That aside, Nakuru host Nondies, Mwamba travel to Impala and the university derby of Mean Machine and Strathmore takes place at the former's home ground. KCB and Quins rest out the first weekend. My calls based on gut calls Nakuru/Nondies will be close but I'll give Nakuru by a score. Impala should beat Mwamba by 10 points comfortably and Machine will edge Strathmore by a score as well.
From Monday the 7's team play in the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India. We'll keep you posted as usual.
Do have a super rugby weekend and enjoy yourselves.

there are 8 kenya cup sides. clubs want as much synchrony btn the 1st and 2nd teams. something must give. clubs view 'rest' as the acceptable compromise
8 kenya cup sides, 10 ess pool A teams, 2 non-2nd team sides.

Dear Dataminer,
when predicting that a side is to win by a score, keep in mind that in english, a score equals twenty!
I know you mean to say a single try/penalty/conversion, but since your english is of a generally good standard...
