Kenya Cup Wrap: Kabras too good for Strathmore Leos as Mwamba record maiden win

Kenya Cup defending champions Kabras Sugar RFC proved to be in a class of their own once again as they whitewashed varsity side Strathmore Leos 88-3 to cement their position at the top of the league standings.

In the one sided clash played at the Strathmore Grounds in Madaraka, the sugarmen ran riot as they scored fourteen tries to teach the students some serious rugby lessons.

An imperious David Bunduki bagged a hat-trick of tries as Jeanson Misoga and Brian Mutua contributed to the scoring party with their own braces.

William Mwanji, Brian Juma, Bryceso Adaka, Alfred Orege, Walter Okoth, Patrick Lumumba and a penalty try would seal the emphatic result that saw Tang Tang maintain their unbeaten streak.

Elsewhere, Mwamba and Catholic Monks claimed their first wins of the season, emerging victorious in their matches against Nondescripts and Homeboyz respectively.

Mwamba were 15-7 winners at the RFUEA against Nondies as Monks stopped Homeboyz 27-17 at the Jamhuri Park.

Kenyatta University’s Blak Blad ended Kenya Harlequins’ perfect start to the season with a 9-3 win at the Kenyatta University. Dennis Gitau was Blak Blad’s hero, kicking over three penalties in the closely contested clash overseen by Constant Cap.

Blad would have an early stab at goal from a penalty attempt following a Quins infringement but Gitau’s kick was short.

He soon put the hosts ahead with another penalty goal off a Quins infringement, Blak Blad leading 3-0 before Quins replied through Amon Wamalwa’s penalty in a first half that saw Blad’s scrummaging posing a problem for the Quins front row.

Another Gitau penalty took the game to 6-3 at the break.

Head coach Paul Murunga introduced Cornelius Mokoro and Laban Kipsang for Patrick Wainaina and Charles Orwa respectively as Quins took to the second half chasing the game and victory.

They grew in confidence, seeing more of the ball as they gained territory but were time and again let down by a series of unforced errors with every visit to the Blad 22.

Gitau’s third penalty took the score to 9-3, Blad doggedly defending but looking threatening every time they had ball in hand. They would eventually hold out for the win that keeps their playoff hopes alive.
