The Kenya Cup hits the halfway mark, and the scoring charts are sizzling. Familiar faces are asserting themselves as the season pivots toward matchday six, with try-scoring duels and boot battles shaping a narrative of fierce competition and individual brilliance.
Try Scorers
At the summit, it’s a Kabras Sugar showcase. Jeanson Misoga and Patrick Lumumba share top billing, each having crossed the whitewash 8 times, their finishing instincts turning opportunities into headlines. Close behind is a congested chase pack — a six‑man tie on 6 tries that reads like a who’s who of the league: Branton Lusila (KCB), Daniel Kipchirchir (Menengai Oilers), Kabras pair Eric Cantona and Teddy Akala, Obat Kuke (KU Blak Blad), and Beldad Ogeta (Menengai Oilers). That depth of threat underlines how every matchday can reshuffle the leaderboard.
Boots and Points
While tries spark the crowd, the boot has been the quiet architect of many results. Enock Oduor (KU Blak Blad) leads the kicking charts with 61 points, his accuracy turning pressure into scoreboard advantage. Hot on his heels is Eric Cantona (Kabras Sugar) with 56 points, his influence felt both in open play and from the tee. Timothy Omela (Menengai Oilers) sits third on 52, followed by Faran Juma (Kenya Harlequins) on 37 and Javan Otieno (Nakuru RFC) on 35, each adding crucial margins for their teams.
Overall Scoring Picture
When tries and kicks are combined, Eric Cantona has emerged as the league’s most potent scorer, amassing 86 points — a testament to his dual threat as a finisher and a kicker. Timothy Omela remains in pursuit with 72 points, while Enock Oduor holds third on 61. Fidens Onyango (Nondescripts) and Brian Wahinya (KCB) round out the top five with 51 and 48 points, respectively, illustrating how influence can come from many quarters.
What Comes Next
With the second half of the season looming, the scoring race is far from settled. Teams will sharpen their tactics and finishers will hunt space, meaning the leaderboards are poised for drama. Expect sparks, late surges, and perhaps a surprise name to burst into the conversation as the Kenya Cup heads into its decisive stretch.
