Nondies are the Kabeberi 7s Division 2 winners after defeating Zetech Oaks 24-21 in the final played at RFUEA Grounds.
The victory secured their spot at the upcoming Dala 7s next weekend. Ben Nyambu’s charges were in fine form throughout the Division 2 campaign, bouncing back strongly after being relegated during the Embu 7s. Their determination was evident right from the kickoff in the final.
Nondies tries
A quick tap from a penalty saw Charles Odhiambo break through and score under the posts for a converted try, giving Nondies a 7-0 lead.
They extended their advantage with another converted try from a lineout move before Odhiambo dived over in the corner to make it 17-7.
