Kisii 7s First match
Two unconverted tries were enough for Kisumu’s second string side Dolphins to pick the first win of the tournament. Though Kisii took a 7-5 lead to the break, Kisumu managed to breach their defence line for another unconverted try in the second half which saw them win 10-7.
Kibabii whipped Rongo 52-0 to start the campaign on a high note. They ran four tries and converted one for a 22-0 lead at halftime. In the second half, they added 30 more points for a big win.
Rugby on the Road with the biggest win
Rugby on the Road picked a convincing 62-0 win over Kisii University in their opener. They were joined on the winning ways by Kisumu RFC who defeated Nairobi Boys 12-5. Aggrey Kitoi opened the scoring for Kisumu RFC before his try was cancelled for a 5-5 tie.
Nairobi Boys were reduced to six following a yellow card and the brave hearts capitalized on the one man advantage to score a converted try that made the difference.
