Wamalwa landed two of the Bankers’ five tries on the night as KCB led 24-0 at the break, before ending the game with a 41-22 victory over the Nakuru-based side at full time.

RUGBY Olago believes KCB are way off being ready for Kenya Cup despite making Floodies final
KCB comprehensively thrashed Menengai Oilers to reach the final of the Impala Floodlit Trophy against Nondies for the second year in a row, but Olago remains far from convinced.
His tries underpinned his outstanding performance, but Olago, who also coaches him at U20 level and made him the captain before the World U20 trophy that took place at the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi in July, believes he still has work to do if he is to unleash and fulfill his vast potential.
“Mike is good. He still has a lot to learn. He is still with Chipu as well, the U20s,” said Olago.
“It depends on how everybody sees it, but he was very outstanding.”
