Kenya Cup try top scorer Brian Tanga will be seeking to continue his good start to the 2021 campaign by adding to his tries when Kabras Sugar host defending Kenya Cup champions KCB at the Nandi Bears Club on Saturday.
Tanga has scored seven tries for Kabras Sugar in their six matches played so far, helping the Kakamega based club to second place in the Kenya Cup log with 30 points.
KCB leads the standings with 38 points after winning all their eight matches followed by Kabras Sugar who have two games in hand.
Both sides have been a cut above the rest this season, with both teams still unbeaten as the Kenya Cup league heads into its business end.
In the team, Kabras Sugar head coach Dominique Habimana has maintained the partnership between top try-scorer Tanga and Kenya Cup’s leading points scorer Ntabeni Dukisa at scrum-half and fly-half respectively.
