What you need to know:

  • Three tries and a conversion were all that Shujaa needed against Cranes Sevens to avenge the defeat from last year’s Africa Cup Sevens in Kampala
  • Skipper Vincent Onyala and Nygel Amaitsa landed a try each to put Shujaa ahead 10-0 at the break before Roy Kizito brought the Ugandans into the game with an unconverted try
  • Shujaa also dismantled Tropics Sevens from United Kingdom and South Africa All Stars 33-5 and 36-0 respectively to complete day one of the Pool “A” outing unbeaten with one match to go against Red Wailers also from the United Kingdom on Sunday

Kenya Sevens, Shujaa, affirmed who are the kings of sevens in the region, blowing away Uganda Sevens 17-5 for three victories on the trot and inch close to Safari Sevens semi-finals at the RFUEA ground.
