six-leg season that will also take in Kisumu, Nairobi, Mombasa and Embu before culminating with the Christie Sevens in Nairobi in September.<\/p>\n<p>Tusker\u2019s contribution continues a partnership that dates back several seasons, with the brand having previously backed the Driftwood, Dala, Kabeberi and Embu legs of the circuit.<\/p>\n<p>The sponsorship arrives on the back of a bumper season for Kenyan rugby\u2019s premier club competition, which recently secured a headline SportPesa deal worth Ksh 34.14 million, more than double the previous year\u2019s investment.<\/p>\n<p>That package is expected to strengthen the circuit\u2019s role as a key development pathway for players aspiring to represent Shujaa, the Kenya Lionesses and the national 15s side.<\/p>\n<p>Nakuru RFC officials welcomed Tusker\u2019s backing, noting that preparations for the tournament are in their final stages and that corporate support remains critical to running a smooth, well-organised event.<\/p>\n<p>The beer giant, which serves as the circuit\u2019s official alcoholic beverage and entertainment partner, has said its investment is aimed at enhancing the fan experience alongside the on-field action, including powering official afterparty festivities that have become a fixture of the Sevens Circuit calendar.<\/p>\n<p>On the pitch, Nakuru will host a strong field expected to include Kabras Sugar, Strathmore Leos, Menengai Oilers and Kenya Harlequin, with Strathmore Leos looking to build on victories at both Prinsloo and Embu last season.<\/p>\n<p>Age-grade action will also feature on the opening weekend, giving young talent a platform alongside the senior sides.<\/p>\n<p>The tournament marks the start of a nine-week circuit that will crown its overall champions at
