Pooled alongside Series champions Top Fry Nakuru RFC, Kenyatta University’s Blak Blad and the Kabeberi7s Division Two champions Makueni RFC, the Sarries kicked off their campaign with a 10-14 loss to Blak Blad. That loss in mind, they worked hard in their next pool match against Makueni RFC to get a clean 46 points at full time.
One win and a loss meant Impala had to beat Nakuru RFC, who were also beaten 12-7 by Blak Blad. This meant that either Resolution Impala Saracens or Top Fry Nakuru RFC would end up in the bowl competition.y

The heated match against Kabras would end up tied 5-5 at full time. In sudden death, a collision infringement by Impala just outside their 22 would cost them the match when mercurial Brian Tanga converted the awarded penalty for an 8-5 full time score.
Dropping to plate semi, the Gazelles faced Mwamba. Impala camped early inside Kulabu’s 22 and would come out with the only try of the match. The FT scores were 5-0.
