SCHOOLS: Come rain or shine, Kenyans aim for some soft landing

Kenya rugby 15s teams are on the verge of setting up an all-Kenyan dream final at this year’s Federation of East Africa Secondary Schools Sports Association (FEASSSA) games in Mbale, Uganda.

The Kenyan boys are itching to recapture the title that has eluded them for the past two years.

Kakamega High School’s Barbarians was the last side to win the East Africa gong during the 2019 games held in Arusha, Tanzania.

After a two-year break due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Kenya did not field a team in Arusha hence relinquishing the trophy to Uganda’s Namilyango College without a fight.
