By Michael Kirwa |
Kabras have now won four Kenya Cup titles
Kabras Sugar mauled KCB Rugby 29-5 in the 2024 in a one sided Kenya Cup final played at the ASK Showground in Kakamega on Saturday 6 April.
It was scenes reminiscent of 2016, 2022, and 2023 when Kabras Sugar lifted the Kenya Cup and to those who witnessed the tearing apart of the Bankers, Kabras Sugar made a convincing deposit of what future Kenyan Cup finals would look like – further installments of marauding surges by Kabras Sugar to glory in the nation’s premier rugby competition.

A fourth Kenya Cup title has seen Kabras Sugar pull ahead of Mean Machine (three titles), Nakuru RFC (two titles), Mwamba RFC (one title), and Barclays Bana (one title) on the all-time list of champions and with their current domination of Kenyan rugby, four years is not a long time for them to catch up with KCB Rugby and Kenya Harlequins on eight titles.
Impala (10 titles) and Nondescripts (17 titles) whose last Kenya Cup titles came in the era televisions beamed images in Standard Resolution, have enough time to endure witnessing the Kabras Sugar show in 4K and other advanced technologies of TV resolution before they start getting worried of the sugar millers catching up with them.
KCB Rugby fans quickly lost interest in seeing their team clinch a ninth Kenya Cup title on the occasion Kabras Sugar made their ninth consecutive Kenya Cup final in as many years of existence in the top flight.
Kabras Sugar went on a rampage as early as the fourth minute with a try from Walter OKoth which Ntabeni Dukisa converted.
With the prospect of taking their lead to double digits lurking, Dukisa added three points for the sugar millers with a well-taken penalty and by the time KCB Rugby discovered what they had come to do in Kakamega with a Vincent Onyala try in the 31st minute, Kabras Sugar had added 12 more points with a try from Kelvin Wekesa and another converted try from Dukisa.
The second half resumed with Kabras Sugar leading 22-5 and having made mockery of a contest billed as “the clash of the titans”.
With KCB Rugby having shrunk from being Kabras Sugar’s bogey team during their halcyon years of winning four consecutive Kenya Cup titles between 2017 and 2021 to a spooked feline that now loses two consecutive Kenya Cup finals to Kabras Sugar with an aggregate score of 48-14, there was only one titan on Saturday in Kakamega.
Having already terrified KCB Rugby to submission, Kabras Sugar exercised some altruism in the second half by adding only seven points to their tally for the day after Brian Tanga scored a try towards the end of the match that was converted by Ntabeni Dukisa.
KCB Rugby return to Nairobi worse than they arrived in Kakamega – empty-handed and humiliated.
On the other hand, Kabras Sugar continued to ensure that the current everlasting post-Covid memory of Kenyan rugby is green and black beast with sprinkles of yellow that has found the Kenya Cup to sweet a possession to let go off.
