The bankers, who are also the Kenya Cup champions, edged out Homeboyz 21-12 in a thrilling final at the "Bull Ring" in Kakamega to win the opening leg of the Stanbic Bank National Sevens Series.

Kenyan Sevens players Vincent Onyala and Johnstone Olindi scored a try each with Isaac Njoroge also touching down before Levy Amunga converted all the tries to hand KCB victory.

Onyala landed a brace of tries while Njoroge managed a try before another new signing Johnstone Olindi converted twice to spur the bankers to victory and the final.
