NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 3 – Impala Saracens set up a mouth watering Kenya Cup quarter final against rivals Kenya Harlequin after the Gazelles played to a 9-9 draw against champions KCB RFC in a match played at the Lions Den on Saturday.
In the other quarter final pairing, Kabras Sugar, who finished third will lock horns with Strathmore Leos.
