The Sarries were first on the scoreboard as Jeremy Griffins and Mark Kwemoi weaved their way through KCB’s scattered defense line for a 14-0 half time lead. In the second half, the Dennis Mwanja charges went all out landing three tries in quick succession as Geoffrey Okwach, Shaban Ahmed and Vincent Onyala went over the whitewash with Amunga and Shaban adding two and one conversions each handing KCB a 21-14 lead with a little under three minutes left on clock.
A penalty against the Bankers deep in their half presented a try scoring opportunity for the Sarries that was quicly executed by Alvin Marube and followed by a Kwemoi conversion that leveled the scores to 21-21. KCB’s Shaban Ahmed landed the winning try at the corner, Amunga’s conversion drifted wide for a 26-21 full time score.
