Kabras RFC achieved a convincing 67-3 victory over Kenyatta University’s Blak Blad in a Kenya Cup match played at Kakamega Showground, continuing their winning streak to six games in a row for this season.
The home side opened the scoring fifteen minutes into the game through Dan Sikuta who powered over KUs defence to score. Ntabeni Dukisa added the extras to send Kabras into a 7-0 Kabras lead.
Three minutes late and sugarmen were at it again, this time Paul Abuto who was set up by a quick vision pass from Walter Okoth to score at the corner. Dukisa failed to add the extras, the scores reading 12-0.
Kabras continued to pile more pressure on the students by camping high in their 22. Ntabeni Dukisa made amends for his two earlier missed kick when he turned scorer, after he cracked Blad’s defence to score. He, however, missed the conversion to take the scores to 17-0.
Minutes later and the scores were 24-0 after Kabras, through Bryceson Adaka, grabbed their bonus point try behind the posts to set up Dukisa with an easy conversion.
Kabras would have the last say of the first half after Hillary Odhiambo grabbed their fifth try metres off the corner. Dukisa converted to end the half 31-0, Kabras lead.
