Mombasa RFC pulled off a historic feat at the 2025 Kabeberi 7s by qualifying for their first Main Cup quarterfinal of the season. 

They joined tournament heavyweights Kabras RFC, KCB Rugby, Strathmore Leos, Daystar Falcons, Mwamba RFC, and Catholic Monks in the last eight after an action-packed opening day at the RFUEA Grounds, Nairobi.

Defending champions KCB Rugby once again showed their pedigree, finishing top of Pool A with a flawless record. They edged Nakuru RFC 21-15 in a thrilling decider, with tries from Mike Wekesa, Brian Wahinya, and Festus Shiasi proving decisive.
