RUGBY KCB school Strathmore Leos to lift Christie Sevens title
The result now means KCB are just two points behind log leaders Kabras Sugar, who finished third in the tournament.
Victory saw KCB return to the winners’ podium for the second time after their cup triumph in the season-opening Dala Sevens before following it up with back-to-back third-place finishes at Driftwood and Prinsloo Sevens.
It was a tough outing for Kabras who had come into the tournament as heavy favourites, having reached the final of the opening three legs of the National Sevens Circuit, winning the last two, in Mombasa and Nakuru.
