Kisumu RFC through to semis
Kenya Cup side Kisumu RFC has qualified for the semifinals of the ongoing Kisii 7s at the Kisii Stadium. The side hit Kibabii University 22-7 in the first quarterfinal of the day. The side was seeking to extend their fine run after recently qualifying for the Kenya Cup side.
Speaking after the win, Kisumu RFC captain Lenny Obiero was glad for the win, noting that they corrected their mistakes ahead of D-day.
“It is a good feeling winning the match. We had some mistakes in our game yesterday which we corrected. We expect a tough game in the semis, meeting Nairobi Boys or Kisii so we have to be tactical,” he told Mozzart Sport.
Nairobi Boys humble Kisii RFC
Former Kenya Cup side Kisii RFC failed to sparkle after they went down 28-5 to Nairobi Boys. The hosts are out of title contention.
MMUST hit Kisii University
Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology beat Kisii University 37-0 in the third quarterfinal match of the day. MMUST were seeking to build upon their performance from last weekend where they won the Bungoma 7s title.
In an exclusive with Mozzart Sport after the effortless win, MMUST captain Veron Kaburu commended his teammates’ hard work.
“It was a tough game because it is a knockout competition where you are out if you miss any opportunity. Our opponents tested us but we rose to the occasion. What helped us is we started the game well, so it gave us an upper hand throughout the game. We are under pressure because we have trained, we trust ourselves, and we trust our coach because we are not here by luck, we are here by hard work,” Kaburu said.
Rugby on the Road hungry for the title
