Kenya's top rugby teams clashed in the Kenya Cup on Saturday, with Homeboyz Rugby emerging victorious against Impala Saracens.
Outside centre Bob Muhati landed a brace of tries, contributing to Homeboyz' four tries, a penalty, and two conversions against Impala's three tries, two conversions, and a penalty at the Jamhuri showground.
Impala's eighth man Duncan Ekasi dragged along several Homeboyz players before scoring on the far right end, but winger Quinto Ongo failed with the extras.
Homeboyz took an 8-5 lead after Evin Asena slotted over a penalty, and later extended their lead to 18-8 at the break after Impala's Samuel Oliech was sin-binned.
Impala pulled one try back, but Homeboyz' numbers ultimately told, leading to a 32-22 victory.
Impala coach Mitch Ocholla lamented the lack of discipline from his players, poor lineout, and backline play.
The top three in the standings remain unchanged, with Kabras Sugar upholding their one-point lead at 40 points, followed by Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) with 39 points, and Homeboyz with 38 points.
