Defending champions KCB reached the Impala Floodlit final courtesy of a 41-21 win over Menengai Oilers in the first semifinal at the Impala Club on Saturday.
Samuel Asati’s try gave the Bankers an early lead before Darwin Mukidza converted to extend KCB’s advantage to 7-0.
Mukidza was back with a penalty to make the scores 10-0 in favor of KCB. Oilers were thoroughly dominated as KCB scored twice through blindside flanker Felix Ojoo and winger Festus Shiasi.
Mukidza converted twice to make the scores 24-0 for the Bankers into the interval.
Coming from the break, KCB extended their lead when Mike Wamalwa scored his side’s fourth try before Mukidza again made it 31-0. Oilers won a penalty and reduced the deficit to 31-7 in the second half.
Two consolation tries from Alvin Khavoli and Jardon Abadon and Tony Oketch’s two conversions were not enough for Oilers as they lost 41-21 to the holders KCB.
