New dates for the two cup competitions will be announced soon.

This year’s edition of the oldest rugby competition in the country was scheduled to kick off on Saturday 18 March with the second-tier cup competition, Mwamba Cup also kicking off on the same date.
KRU revealed that the postponement has been necessitated to hand the national rugby 15’s side, Kenya Simbas time to prepare for the Currie Cup.
“The Kenya Rugby Union has today 16th March 2023 resolved to postpone the Enterprise Cup and Mwamba Cup round of 16 scheduled for 18th March 2023 to 25th March 2023.
This is to allow for Kenya Simbas trials in readiness for the upcoming Currie Cup. New Quarter Finals, Semi-Finals and Finals dates for both Cups will be communicated in due course,” read a statement from KRU.
