KCB Rugby cruise past Blak Blad in Kenya Cup clash

KCB Rugby put on a clinical and authoritative display to dismantle Kenyatta University 45-3 in a Kenya Cup Matchday 6 encounter played at the Kenyatta University FGrounds,  on Saturday.

The result extended KCB's their strong run in the competition so far, and underlining their title ambitions.

The bankers weathered early pressure after Blad struck first with a penalty to take a 3-0 lead, but KCB’s response was swift and decisive.

Michael Wekesa powered over for the opening try to swing the momentum, before sharp thinking from Samuel Asati at the scrum released Festus Shiasi, who sprinted in to stretch the advantage. With Brian Wahinya accurate from the tee, KCB steadily pulled clear.

Nick Okullo and Fidel Maina crossed in quick succession as KCB dominated territory and possession, punishing every lapse in the hosts’ defence. Levy Amunga added a well-worked try before Andy Cole capped off a blistering first half, sending KCB into the break with a commanding 40-3 lead.

The second half saw KCB maintain control despite Levy Amunga’s temporary absence in the sin bin. The highlight came when Sheldon Kahi marked his debut for the club in style, crossing the whitewash to score KCB’s final try of the afternoon and seal a convincing 45-3 victory.

Reflecting on his debut, Kahi described the moment as special and praised the support within the squad.

“It is a huge honour to make my debut for KCB Rugby and even more special to score. The boys really backed me, and the systems made it easy to settle in. This is a team with big ambitions, and I am grateful to be part of the journey,” said Kahi.

The result reinforces KCB Rugby’s growing cohesion and attacking confidence as the season gathers pace.

Attention now shifts to their next fixture, where the bankers will return home to host Nondescripts on January 31, 2026, aiming to build on this momentum and continue their push at the top end of the Kenya Cup standings
