Kabras captain Eugene Sifuna got in on the fun to take the scores to 24-0 before Shujaa scrum half Brian Tanga made it 31-0 at half time after Dukisa's conversions.

In the final half, a penalty try gifted Kabras easy seven points to lead 38-0 before David Bunduki shot his way through the Monks defense line to score and take the lead to 45-0 after Dukisa's conversion.

Ashiundu would then grab a quick brace for a 57-0 lead Shitambasi, Walter Okoth and William Mwanji sealed the win for Kabras.
