KCB launched their 2024/25 Kenya Cup campaign in style with a commanding 95-5 victory over debutants South Coast Pirates at the KCB Sports Club on Saturday November 23.
The Bankers opened their account through Bob Muhati, who scored the first try of the season following a clever close-range assist from captain Jacob Ojee.
Ojee quickly followed up with two more tries, completing a hat trick within the first half. Eric Miheso and Felix Ojow added to the tally, ensuring KCB took a dominant 38-00 lead into halftime, with Isaac Njoroge converting successfully.

Kabras will begin their Kenya Cup defence when they face Impala, who earned promotion back to the top flight, while KCB will also be taking on another newly promoted side South Coast Pirates.
Mang’eni, howeverm, feels there is still room for improvement. "We missed a lot of chances, which we need to build on in the subsequent games. We are not fully ourselves, and this game was a great test of our preparedness as we start the new season. We are going to focus on sealing the loopholes and ensuring we grab maximum points in all the games to come,” he said.
“We have a big squad. We were just making trials for the first team, and we are happy with the outcome. The next games are crucial as we hope to build a formidable squad to challenge for trophies in the Kenya Cup,” he added.
