While a walk down memory lane reveals a Kenya-Uganda fixture played in 1934 at Entebbe, details regarding the outcome of that particular fixture in terms of scores have been hard to come by.
There have been a total of 29 recorded meetings between Kenya and Uganda, Kenya winning the first recorded clash, posting a 21-11 score in Kampala on 24 May 1958.
It would be 39 years before the two sides met again, Kenya picking up from that win in Kampala with a 65-8 demolition job of the Rugby Cranes at the RFUEA Ground on 23 August 1997. They would post three more wins before Uganda notched up their first ever win against Kenya, posting a 31-22 result over the Simbas in Nairobi on 5 October 2002.
In totality, the Simbas lead the head to head record with 20 wins and 9 losses.
When the two sides step out on to the RFUEA turf on Saturday, it will not only be regional bragging rights in the form of the Elgon Cup in store but also African rugby rankings at store as the match doubles up as a Rugby Africa Gold Cup encounter
