Odongo received his Level Two 7s accreditation a year after completing his Level Two certification in 15s. The former Homeboyz tactician was appointed head of Quins’ 7s program ahead of the 2024 campaign, having previously coached Homeboyz Rugby in two stints (2018–2019 and 2021).
Matekwa has been instrumental in guiding Zetech Oaks, who have made several top-tier appearances this season, while Munga’s accreditation comes as NYS Spades continue to impress in the National 7s Circuit second division, where they lead the standings after four rounds with two final appearances.
Otieno, on his part, completed his accreditation during the Christie 7s mini-super week while overseeing Northern Suburbs.
