KCB beat Homeboyz 21-12 to win Kakamega 7s on Sunday July 21 and bag their first sevens trophy since Prinsloo 7s in 2017.

The bankers ran in three converted tries scored by former Homeboyz fly-half Johnstone Olindi, Kenya 7s international Vincent Onyala and Isaac Njoroge.

The two sides tied 7-7 at the interval after KCB’s Onyala and Homeboyz’s Collins Shikoli scored for either side but Olindi returned to hunt his former side as he took the scores to 14-7 with new signing Levy Amunga adding the extras.

The Deejayz would be penalized at their own 22 for the bankers to take advantage and score their third try. Homeboyz pulled a second try that was not converted and it was too late for a possible comeback.

To reach Cup final, Homeboyz beat Top Fry Nakuru 20-0 while KCB saw off Mwamba 19-5. 

KCB had beaten MMUST 36-0, Kisii RFC 41-0 and Kabras Sugar 29-7 to top pool C with nine points. Late Saturday evening they were docked all points and relegated to challenge trophy but following a successful appeal, they were reinstated and went ahead to beat Strathmore Leos 28-12 in cup quarters, Mwamba 19-5 in cup semis and Homeboyz 21-12 in cup final.
