National Sevens rugby champions KCB RFC began their title defence in style by winning the opening leg of the National Sevens Series in Nakuru.
KCB won all six of their matches from the group stage to the final to send a strong statement to their title rivals.
Although Kabras RFC dominated KCB during the 15s season, the bankers once again proved superior in the shorter format.
After conceding an early try, KCB fought back to take a 19-5 lead, aided by a numerical advantage after Kabras were reduced to six players for the final two minutes of the first half.
KCB also defeated Nakuru RFC in the quarter-finals and Kenya Harlequin in the semi-finals to lift the title.
The bankers head into the next leg, the Dala Sevens in Kisumu on August 1 and 2, as the top seeds.
