A rain-soaked RFUEA grounds saw KCB Rugby clinch their second title of the 2025 SportPesa National Sevens Circuit after beating Menengai Oilers 19-5 on Sunday evening to emerge Christie 7s winners.
Having lost the finals of the Prinsloo 7s to Strathmore Leos, the Bankers regrouped with renewed determination, aiming for nothing less than a trophy in the third leg of the tournament.
A decisive brace from Floyd Wabwire as well as a try by Festus Shiasi propelled the Bankers to victory.
Brian Wahinya added two conversions, ensuring Samuel Ovwamu’s solo effort for the Oilers wasn’t enough to secure their maiden title of the season.

They stepped up to fourth in the Prinsloo 7s, and now secured a podium finish in second place, earning crucial points that could see them rise to third overall in the standings.
