What you need to know:
- Butula Boys won their maiden national title last year in Eldoret, but lost it this year to All Saints High School. Last year, they won silver at the East Africa Games in Rwanda but were disqualified during this year’s showpiece in Mbale, Uganda.
- Meanwhile, Koyonzo Boys coach Eliud Okwemba has set his sights on winning the school’s first national 15s title. “We’ve been training hard despite lacking camps. This time, we aim to lift the title,” he said.
Rugby powerhouse Butula Boys High School are laying the groundwork to reclaim the national 15s rugby title at the 2025 Kenya Secondary School Games.
Under new head coach Almasa Bonfotra, the team is currently camping at Kisumu Boys High School during the National Sports Talent Camp organised by the Kenya Academy of Sports (KAS) in partnership with the Ministries of Sports and Education.
