Kabras Sugar booked their spot in the quarterfinals of the ongoing Kakamega Sevens with a game to spare after dominating their preliminary matches at Kakamega Showgrounds on Saturday.
Fresh from winning Christie Sevens, the opening leg of the 2024 National Sevens Circuit, the sugar men showcased their dominance by whitewashing Kenyatta University's Blak Blad 31-5 in their first Group A match.
A Western Derby followed where Kabras pitted alongside Western Bulls emerged top once again after a 34-0 victory with Griffins Chao dotting a first half hat-trick.
Speaking after the win, Kabras Sugar coach Felix Khayange said they have turned their focus to the knock out stages beginning on Sunday.
Khayange emphasized on team work and match at a time game plan.
