Menengai Oilers wallop MMUST in Kenya Cup clash

Menengai Oilers delivered a commanding response in front of their home fans after thrashing MMUST RFC 48–3 in a Kenya Cup clash at the Nakuru ASK Grounds.

Coached by Gibson Weru, the Oilers came into the fixture under pressure following their recent home loss to KCB, but they produced a ruthless display to keep their push for a home semi-final firmly on track.

The hosts wasted little time stamping their authority on the match. Alvin Khavoli opened the scoring with the first try of the afternoon, stretching his tally to 13 tries and strengthening his position at the top of the Kenya Cup scoring charts.

Kenya international Daniel Kipchirchir soon followed with another try, while Abutwalib Wesonga calmly slotted in the conversion to give the Oilers early breathing space.

MMUST briefly responded through the boot of Flavian Otiyo, who converted a penalty, but the Oilers still carried a comfortable 12–3 lead into the halftime break.

Weru’s charges returned from the interval with renewed intensity, quickly taking full control of the contest. Fortune Aturo touched down for another try, with Wesonga adding the extras to stretch the lead to 19–3.

Victor Were and Kipchirchir then crossed the whitewash to pile more misery on the visitors as the Oilers’ attacking machine gathered momentum.

With confidence flowing and the home crowd roaring them on, the Nakuru-based side added three more tries — one successfully converted — to complete a dominant 48–3 victory.

The emphatic win underlined Menengai Oilers’ strength at home and offered the perfect response for Weru’s men as they continue their charge toward the decisive phase of the Kenya Cup season.
