Defending champions Kabras Sugar are through to their 10th straight Kenya Cup final.

Kenya U20 full back Jackson Sketta scored a brace as the sugar men hammered Nondescripts 45-6 in the semifinals played on Saturady at Kakamega Showgrounds.

The win saw Kabras maintain their three-season long unbeaten run and will now start preparations to host the Kenya Cup for the sixth straight year in Kakamega on April 12.

Sketta gave the hosts a 5-0 lead after finishing off a well-executed offload from Ntabeni Dukisa.

A series of Nondies attack followed before Tony Fidens reduced the deficit to 5-3 after splitting the posts with a penalty near the Kabras 22.

Sensing danger, Kabras increased the tempo and this time Sketta turned from scorer to provider after founding a charging Griffins Chao on the left wing for a corner post try for 10-3.

Dukisa who missed the opening two conversion amended his miss to stretch the lead to 13-3 with a penalty before the break.

In the final half, Dukisa added a penalty for 16-3 before Patrick Lumumba crossed the white wash for 23-3 after Dukisa's conversion.

Another penalty followed by Dukisa for 26-3 before Nondies grabbed a penalty of their own for 26-6.

Alfred Orege joined in on the party to stretch the lead to 31-6 after Eric Cantona added the extras. Collins Indeche pushed the scores to 38-6 before Sketta rounded off the scores to win 45-6.
