KCB Rugby continued their strong run against Nondescripts after brushing aside their Nairobi rivals in a commanding performance that further strengthened their position at the top end of the Kenya Cup table.
Heading into the encounter, the Bankers had won 10 of the last 11 meetings against Nondies and were keen to extend that dominance, while Nondies were returning to action after a weekend break. KCB once again proved too strong, controlling the match and securing a comfortable bonus-point win.
Nondies opened the scoring with an early penalty before KCB responded through lock Andycole Omol, who crossed over for the first try of the match. Brian Wahinya added the conversion to give the Bankers the lead.
Two penalties from Nondies briefly pushed them ahead at 9–7, but KCB struck again just before halftime to reclaim the advantage and head into the break leading 14–9.

KCB took full control in the second half, scoring off a rolling maul to stretch the lead to 19–9. They then sealed the bonus point with a well-worked corner try.
The Bankers added two more tries as they turned on the style, before Nondies pulled one back late with an unconverted try, which proved only a consolation.
