On a rainy Saturday at The Den in Ruaraka, Kabras Sugar delivered a stunning 19-6 win over defending champions Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB), securing their maiden victory against the latter.
According to World Rugby rules, match referee Victor Oduor was forced to end the duel in the 60th minute and award the match to Kabras Sugar after cases of lightning were reported.
Kabras Sugar's head coach, Henley Du Plessis, attributed their success to a strong focus on attack and defense during pre-season training, as well as improved kicking game and ball handling skills.
With this victory, Kabras Sugar became the only side yet to concede defeat this season, opening up a four-point lead at the top of the league standings with 29 points.
Kenya Rugby Referees Association secretary Alfred Okwemba explained that the decision to stop the match was made due to safety concerns, citing the level of water on the pitch and the risk of lightning.
