KCB school Strathmore Leos to lift Christie Sevens title

KCB RFC have won their second leg of the 2023 National Sevens Ciruit after beating Strathmore Leos 17-12  in the final of the Christie 7s played at RFUEA Grounds in Nairobi on Sunday.

Leos drew first blood when they scored an  unconverted try through Gabriel Ayimba who went over the white wash after a scramble in KCB’s five.

The Bankers would soon level the scores through Brian Wahinya who subsequently converted it successfully to hand KCB a 7-5 lead.

They would soon extend their lead to 10 points after Wahinya successfully converted a try after Leos had made an infringement in their own half.

Kenya international Vincent Onyala then wrapped up the scoring for the Bankers after restart to stretch the lead and despite Strathmore Leo’s late charge following Nigel Amainza’s converted try, KCB held on to claim a 17-12 win.

In an earlier 3rd place play-off, series leaders Kabras beat Nakuru 19-12 while Impala won the ladies title after seeing off Mwamba 26-7.

Following KCB’s triumph they cut Kabras' lead at the top of the standings to within two points. Kabras leads the log on 80 points.

The six legged series now heads to Eldoret for the 5th round scheduled September 2-3rd before culminating with the Kabeberi sevens in Nairobi a weekend later.
