Kenya Commercial Bank received Sh100,000 after winning the 24th edition of the Top Fry Great Rift 10 Aside Championships at Nakuru Athletic Club at the weekend.
It was song and dance as the bankers received the money from the event’s organisers Menengai Oil Refinery Limited who injected Sh4 million into the event.
KCB Coach Curtis Olago, who praised his playing unit said: “After consultations with the management, a decision will be made on how to motivate the players using the money.”
The bankers came from three tries down to overcome Strathmore Leos with a sudden death try after a 15-15 tie to win 20-15.
