There was an interesting twist on the last day of the campaign as Kakamega Homeboyz were handed all the three points after Kariobangi Sharks failed to turn up for their fixture.

That meant that Tusker needed to see off Posta Rangers to retain the prestigious crown.

And Kimanzi's charges did enough to down an initially stubborn Posa Rangers side, winning 2-0 to cart home the trophy.

Shaphan Oyugi and Jackson Macharia were both on target for the brewers, with the duo scoring on either half of the match.
