Hooker Eugene Sifuna and second rowers Brian Juma and David Bunduki nailed down two tries each to blow away the Deejays but not before fullback Jone Kubu, centre Walter Okoth and flanker George Nyambua managed a try apiece.

South African Ntabeni Dukisa made four conversions in the first half while Fijian-born Kubu made two in the second half for Kabras Sugar.
