Homeboyz registered their first win of the season after handing hosts Mwamba a 22-18 loss in a Kenya Cup match played at the Railways Club yesterday.
The Deejays won through four tries and two conversions against Mwamba's two penalties, one try and a solitary penalty try.
Homeboyz missed a chance to take an early lead as Henry Ayah squandered a penalty from close range.
The Deejays were made to rue the miss moments later as Mwamba full back Brian Kivasia handed his side a 3-0 advantage from the boot.
Homeboyz started making inroads in the Mwamba territory and their efforts paid off when Bush Mwale dotted down for a try which Ayah failed to convert.
