Kabras Sugar kicked off their title defense on the front foot despite the match being abandoned due to heavy rains after hammering Impala Saracens 33-6 at the Kakamega Showground on Saturday.
Patrick Lumumba picked up from where he left last season after an early five-minute try gave Kabras a 7-0 lead after Eric Cantona added the extras.
Impala responded with a penalty through Patrick Musoli that cut the gap to 7-3 before Gabriel Adero scored the hosts second try that was converted by Cantona for 14-3.
Another penalty by Impala cut the lead to 14-6 but Collins Indeche responded in style to push the scores to 21-6 as Cantona maintained 100 percent kicking.
Hillary Solano bagged the bonus point try before half time as Kabras led 26-6. The final half saw Adero complete his brace as Kabras led 33-6.
