Kenya Simbas completed a double over Hong Kong by thrashing the Dragons 34-10 in the second leg tie of the Tatu City Series International test match, at the RFUEA Grounds yesterday.
This was the second victory for the Jerome Paarwater's side after a selected Kenya "A" team rallied from behind to beat the 22nd ranked Hong Kong 24-18 in their first match on Tuesday night.
The hosts took the lead through instrumental KCB fullback Darwin Mukidza's penalty kick before he converted Joseph Kangethe's try for Kenya to go 10-0 up.
David Ambunya then combined well with man of the match Tony Owour for the Strathmore back-row to extend the lead to 17-0 with a converted try.
Mukidza scored his second penalty of the day before Hong Kong's Matt Roslee kicked over a penalty for the score to read 20-3 at halftime.
