Mwamba Rugby Football Club have won the Women's edition of the 2024 Impala Floodlit rugby tournament. The three-peat Women's Kenya Cup champions won the Floodlit tournament for the fourth time in a row, cementing their dominance as Kenya's premier women's rugby team. Coached by Joseph "Babu" Odindi and captained by Stacy "Nasty" Atieno, this may very well be Mwamba's easiest ever victory as they won the championship without touching the ball after their would-be opponents in the final, Impala RFC women, failed to show up at their own grounds for the final of a tournament that they were hosting. A disappointed coach Odindi told Mwamba Rugby Media that the Mwamba ladies had been extremely well prepared and had been looking forward to giving Impala a run for their money at their own back yard yet again. Captain Stacy Atieno also expressed disappointment at their opponents' no show but was elated to be crowned champions again. "We were at the pitch, we had warmed up and ready for the kick off when we got word that Impala were not coming to the ground" she told Mwamba Rugby Media. The team now shifts their focus to their preparations to defend the Kenya Cup league, which begins later this month.
