The 29th edition of the Impala Floodlit tournament kicks off tomorrow at the RFUEA and Impala Club grounds. A total of six matches will be played in two categories at the respective venues. Impala RFC, who are the defending champions, open their campaign against newly promoted Homeboyz RFC in what is expected to be a mouth-watering clash at 4:30pm. Nakuru RFC face Mwamba as Kenya Commercial Bank take on Nondies at the same time.
Kenya Cup champions Quins have a date with Strathmore at 7:30pm. The Floodlit tournament, which was traditionally played at the beginning of the year, has been rescheduled to April and will be played on three consecutive starting tomorrow.
Last week, the tournament received a boost from leading medical insurer Resolution Health East Africa who donated Sh3 million sponsorship. Eunie Khimulu, Resolution Health EA marketing manager expressed the company’s commitment to support rugby and other sports discipline in the country. “Resolution Health has a strong connection with sports and the Impala Floodlit tournament has built a formidable reputation in the East Africa sporting calendar,” said Khimulu. “Resolution Health’s ability to communicate and interact with consumers across the region is important to the brand’s growth. We look forward to being a part of a tournament that has provided fun and great rugby matches in equal measure for almost three decades.”
