By Fred Maingi
Defending SportPesa National Sevens Circuit champions KCB Rugby kicked off their title defence in style, beating arch-rivals Kabras Sugar 19-12 to lift the Prinsloo Sevens trophy in Nakuru on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was KCB\u2019s first Prinsloo title since 2017, ending a long wait and snatching the crown from last year\u2019s winners, Strathmore Leos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final at a packed Nakuru Athletics Club started with Kabras on the front foot. Mike Lukusu touched down from the opening kickoff that KCB failed to gather, putting Kabras 5-0 up early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Bankers hit back fast. Kenya 7s star George Ooro scored KCB\u2019s first try and converted it himself to level things. From there, KCB took control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elvis Olukusi and Vincent Onyala both crossed the line, with KCB capitalizing on a yellow card to Kabras\u2019 Jackson Lukeki. The two tries pushed KCB to a 19-5 lead at halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
