He was strongly supported by reliable back Brian Wahinya, who scored three tries and 14 kickable points to reach 29 points.
Other scorers like Bob Muhati with four tries, Samwel Asati, Michael Wekea, Floyd Wabwire, and Elvis Olukusi with three tries each added valuable attacking depth.
Even the tournament’s Most Valuable Player (MVP), Vincent Onyala, Jenkins Kipruto, and Austin Sikutwa chipped in with two tries each, while Stephen Osumba added two kickable points.
This balance between try scorers and kickers gave KCB the complete edge, propelling them to the title.

Supporting him were Samuel Wafula and Shem Okola, who scored four and three tries respectively, while Nygel Amaitsa also managed three tries.
