Nicholas Ireri and Gideon Kiprotich. Bethwel Kiprop was the match's tip scorer with 12 but it was not enough to propel Mamba to victory.
National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) remain Ulinzi's toughest test as they too are unbeaten, having played for 18 wins. The two sides are yet to clash. The highly-anticipated match is likely to decide the league winner.
