KCB beat Nakuru to Prinsloo cup

Kenya Commercial Bank humiliated hosts Nakuru RFC 37-0 to clinch the Prinsloo Sevens Rugby Cup at the Nakuru Athletic Club on Sunday.

“Wanyore” as they are popularly known, had a bad day in office right from the word go and were a total flop up the final whistle.

Their co-ordination was inept, while their ball handling was wanting as they failed to tame the speedy bankers who taught them some rugby lessons.

Barely three minutes into the game, Oliver Mangeni evaded a harsh tackle from a Nakuru defender to drill in a superb try which was however not converted by Collins Kimani.

Moments later, Dawin Mukiza touched down with Kimani this time around making no mistake with a classic conversion.

Mukiza, who was a thorn in the leaking Nakuru defence, scored the third try which was superbly converted by the man of the match Edwin Salamba.

After recess, Nakuru continued to wilt and it came as no surprise when Dennis Mwangi scored the fourth try which was however not converted by Kimani.

Salamba increased the home side woes in the middle of the second half when he made a brilliant run from the centre of the pitch and touched down.

A minute before the final whistle, Peter Kilonzo drilled the final nail in Nakuru’s coffin when scored a try below the goal posts which was converted Kimani.

Earlier in the first semi-final tie, Nakuru beat Kisumu 24-5 while KCB booked a ticket for he last two after thrashing Strathmore 22-12.

Nondies won the Shield trophy after beating Eldoret 10-0.

Before reaching the final, the white shirts clobbered Bungoma 40-5 while Eldoret eliminated Molo 12-7 in the second semi-final tie.

Homboyz won the Bowl after silencing Mean Machine 12-5 in the final game.

In reaching the last two, Homeboyz narrowly beat Daystar University 12-10 and in the second semi, Mean Machine gored Western Bulls 12-5.

In the Plate final, Quins carried the day when they laboured to beat Blak Blad 10-5 in a pulsating final match.

Quins sailed into the final after edging out Impala 7-4 while Blak Blad eliminated last year’s main cup winners Mwamba 14-12.
