For the first time since September 2017 where they scooped host Nakuru to the Prinsloo 7s title, KCB won a leg of the National Sevens Circuit, this time seeing off Homeboyz 21-12 in Kakamega 7s final on Sunday 21 July 2019 during the opening leg of Stanbic 7s.

A preseason revamp, that saw the club onboard four Key players; Johnstone Olindi and Patrick Ouko from Homeboyz, Shadrack “Shaddie” Munoko from Mean Machine and Levy Amunga from Blakblad brought immediate returns as the tellers stayed the course with an unbeaten run to hit the high podium in Kakamega.

Though earlier on docked points at the close of day one, thereby losing all wins to drop to the challenge trophy, KCB made a passionate appeal and were reinstated and stayed unblemished to win their first circuit since the Prinsloo win in 2017.

But while KCB roared, it was the opposite for Ngong road giants Kenya Harlequin who managed just a point to finish 16th and last in Kakamega.

In their first game Quins led Strathmore Leos 14-5 at half time but had no respnse when Keri road lads clawed back to register 21 unanswered points in the second half with three tries and conversions from promising Barnabas Owuor to win the duel 26-14.

It got worse when students from Egerton handed them a 10-0 beating in game two and even worse when their peripheral neighbours Nakuru made it three losses with a 19-7 win in the final game.

A 26-5 loss to tournament co-hosts Kabras Sugar in the Challenge Trophy quarters and 10-7 loss to the other co-host Western Bulls in the 13th place semi marked the end of the road for Quins.

Kenya 7s coach Paul Murunga took charge of Mean Machine who reached challenge trophy final losing 17-5 to Menengai Oilers.

Machine enjoyed a 31-0 win over Kabras Sugar in the Challenge trophy semis. They had lost 7-5 to Nondies and 19-0 to Mwamba but managed a 24-5 win over Kisumu RFC. They seat 10th with seven points heading to Kabeberi 7s.

The other highlight of the weekend saw Northern Suburbs Cubs beat Kenya Cup side Blak Blad 21-0 to be crowned Div II champions and will be the 16th team at Kabeberi 7s.

The Kabeberi 7s draw was released on Monday as KCB head to Meru as top seeds. They play Impala, Menengai Oilers and local man Meru RFC.

Kakamega 7s losing finalists Homeboyz will play MMUST, Machine and invitational side Pirates from Uganda as hosts Mwamba takes on Nondies, Egerton and Quins who comes as an invitational side too.

Kakamega 7s Div II champions Northern Suburbs Cubs are in pool D with Nakuru RFC, Strathmore Leos and Kabras Sugar.
