The Nyanza Region 7s Rugby games were interrupted at the semi-final phase at Cardinal Otunga High School Mosocho as chaos on the football field led to the abandonment of the rugby semi-finals.
Defending champions St. Mary’s Yala were leading in the final stages of the first semi-final against Kisii School.
