Matungu sub-county has shown growth in rugby, with Koyonzo boys dominating National 7s for the last two years, while Mwira emerged as the girls’ winners in 7s when the games returned to the schedule.

The region only had three boys’ schools playing rugby in 2017, and the number has now risen to eight boys’ schools and six girls’ schools playing rugby.
