Kabras Sugar 62-6 Black Blad: A Show of Strength
Kabras RFC reaffirmed their status as title favorites with a commanding performance over Black Blad. This victory marked their 14th consecutive win over the university side since Blad’s promotion to the top tier. The reigning champions were ruthless, scoring ten tries to maintain their perfect record this season.
Locks Patrick Sabatia and Hillary Odhiambo were pivotal in the victory, each securing a brace. Kabras set the pace early, with Odhiambo finishing off a forward-driven move in the left corner, expertly converted by Jone Kubu. Shortly after, Sabatia sliced through Blad’s defensive line to secure the second try, although Kubu’s conversion attempt was off the mark.
Blak Blad attempted a response through Derrick Masese’s dazzling footwork, earning a penalty that was successfully converted to bring the score to 12-3. However, the visitors found it impossible to contain Kabras’ relentless attack. Jeanson Misoga powered over from a scrum, while Ephraim Oduor’s center-post try secured a first-half bonus point, giving Kabras a commanding 26-6 lead at halftime.
The second half saw Kabras extend their dominance further, with tries from Sabatia, Collins Indeche, Barry Robinson, William Mwanji, Mathias Odhiambo, and captain George Nyambua. Even a yellow card for Odhiambo did little to slow the hosts, who wrapped up an emphatic 62-6 victory.
