Elgon Cup first leg shifted to August

The Kenya Rugby Football Union (KRFU) has opted to change the date for the first leg of the Elgon Cup. Originally slated for May, KRFU will now host Uganda in August, 2 weeks before the return leg in Uganda. This allows both the women's teams to concentrate on the CAR 7's in June before switching their attention to the 15 side friendlies.
