The 25-year-old may have been a fringe player for Shujaa in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games but he showed he was the hottest live-wire in the national circuit this year.
Abukuse was the series top try scorer with 32. The Oilers man, standing at 1.89 metres, also led in most line-breaks with 37. It is remarkable that he topped this key statistic but only played four of the six legs.
Kenya Harlequin were crowned the 2024 SportPesa National Sevens Circuit champions last Sunday following a weekend of high drama at Nakuru Athletics Club.
It came down to a three-horse race, separated by 11 points, going into the sixth and final leg of the series in Nakuru where leaders Quins needed to at least reach the Prinsloo Sevens semi-final to be guaranteed of the national title.
