NAIROBI, Kenya -- Another season,another match day, another instalment of the never-ending tussle between KCB and Kabras Sugar, arguably the Kenya Cup's most consistent and dominant sides over the past five or so seasons.

The two sides will once again take aim at each other on Saturday 30 November 2019 at the KCB Sports Club in Ruaraka as the 2019/2020 season enters match day six.

They then found themselves trailing 14-8 during the half time of their home fixture against Homeboyz. They turned things around in the second half to first lead 27-14 before the deejays scored two late tries, KCB hanging on for the 27-24 result.

Despite the two sides' contrasting fortunes at the top of the table, it is worth nothing that Kabras are yet to beat KCB in ten previous encounters since earning promotion to the top tier in 2014. They have come agonizingly close, playing out a 15-15 draw at the Kakamega Showground on Saturday 3 December 2016. There was also those two Kenya Cup finals in 2018 and 2019 where they fell...
