KRU CHAMPIONSHIP 2ND SPOT
Close behind are the Catholic Monks, who also remain unbeaten and sit in second place with 36 points, though they have secured fewer bonus points (4) than MMUST.
Daystar Falcons occupy the third spot with 34 points after a narrow 22-20 victory over Homeboyz RFC. They have won seven matches and suffered only one loss this season, which came against MMUST. Zetech Oaks round off the top four with 28 points, but their recent 22-17 defeat to JKUAT Cougars over the weekend halted their momentum.
