Kabras Sugar overcame a late rally from a gutsy Kenya Harlequin outfit to win their second cup title on the SportPesa National 7s Circuit with a 10-5 result in the Prinsloo 7s Cup final at the Nakuru Athletic Club on Sunday evening.
They started brightly, Jone Kubu intercepting Dave Mwaura’s pass to play in Bryceson Adaka for the game’s opening try.
Quins grew in confidence, stifling Kabras and gaining ground but were let down by an unforced error after Cornelius Mokoro had left his markers for dead.
Kabras went into the break with the 5-0 lead.
Kubu then sliced through the Quins defense, touching down as Kabras went 10-0 up and had to survive sustained pressure from their opponents.

Lucky Dewald, on as a replacement for the injured Mokoro, attacked from the breakdown, scoring for Quins who went in pursuit of the match winner, all in vain as Kabras made it two wins from three cup final appearances this season.
