Kabras coach Hennley Du Plessis believes there is room for improvement for his charges after picking up a bonus-point win in their 43-9 demolition of Mwamba over the weekend.

It was the sugarmillers' second win of the campaign after humiliating newly- promoted Kisumu RFC 89-0 nine days ago in Kakamega.

Du Plessis said they were taking one game at a time, adding that he wants the team to build on these performances.

"We are sticking to our structures and playing to our strengths but definitely, we can be better. However, am happy with the effort the boys have shown so far,” said Du Plessis.

The South African tactician saluted the performance of veteran Lawrence Buyachi and Fijian Timoci Senate, who came during the transfer window.

"They bring in experience and leadership to the team,” said Du Plessis.

The Enterprise Cup champions outscored Mwamba by six tries in a dominant second-half performance which sees then lead the standings alongside champions KCB after two matches. Kabras led 7-6 at the interval but stepped up a gear in the second half to outplay the hosts.

Sinaite and compatriot Nakaragua Abisai scored two tries each with Charlton Mokua and Buyachi scoring one apiece. Flyhalf Dukisa Ntabeni added five conversions while Brian Kivasia scored three penalties for the hosts.
