Homeboyz picked their second consecutive win of the season after edging out struggling Top Fry Nakuru 33-15 in a Kenya Cup match at Jamhuri Grounds on Saturday.
The win continued Homeboyz resurgence in the league after a poor start saw them lose their opening three games of the season against Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST) RFC, defending champions KCB and Kenyatta University’s Blak Blad.
On the other hand, Nakuru headed into the match hunting for their first win of the season.
The visitors started well after taking the lead through Gideon Mbithi’s unconverted try.
The hosts responded with Felix Odhiambo crossing over and Amon Wamalwa converting for a 7-5 lead. Wamalwa added a penalty for a 10-5 lead.
