Day 2 of the 2025 Dala 7s promises a packed schedule of knockout action as Kabras RFC, Daystar Falcons, KCB Rugby, and Menengai Oilers head into the second day of competition with perfect records from Day 1. The Challenge Trophy quarterfinals kick off the morning at 9:20 with MMUST facing MSC Rugby, followed by Homeboyz taking on Impala at 9:40. Kenya Harlequin meet Catholic Monks at 10:00, and another Homeboyz versus Impala clash concludes the lower-tier knockout stage at 10:20, ensuring early excitement as teams battle for silverware outside the main Cup.
The Cup quarterfinals start at 10:40 with Kabras RFC meeting Nondescripts, a fixture that promises intensity as Kabras look to maintain their unbeaten run. At 11:00, Menengai Oilers face Mwamba RFC, with both sides eager to showcase attacking flair and defensive grit. Daystar Falcons tackle Nakuru RFC at 11:20, while the standout quarterfinal at 11:40 sees KCB Rugby Club go head-to-head with Strathmore Leos in a clash that could decide the overall 2025 National Sevens Circuit champion.
KCB Rugby currently leads the standings with 105 points and can secure the Circuit title outright by winning the Dala Sevens, which would add 22 points to their total. Even reaching the semifinals would guarantee them the championship. Strathmore Leos, sitting second with 95 points, face a tougher route; a Dala Sevens victory would bring their total to 117 points, but they would need KCB to finish sixth or lower to lift the overall title. In a scenario where KCB finishes fifth while Strathmore wins, both teams would be tied on 117 points, leaving the championship to be decided on tiebreakers.
Every match on Day 2 carries high stakes, with teams battling for Cup and Challenge Trophy honors and the Circuit title hanging in the balance. From the early Challenge Trophy clashes to the marquee quarterfinals in the Cup, fans are set for a day of thrilling, high-octane rugby where every try and defensive stop could tip the scales in the race for glory.
