Nduru Boys clinch Kisii County secondary schools 7's rugby title

Nduru Boys High School edged hosts Kisii School 17-5 to win the Kisii County Secondary schools rugby 7’s title.

Coached by the principal J.J. Masime, Nduru Boys are now the county 7’s and 15’s champions.

In Friday’s final, Nduru started the game on a high note with skilful Hirram Ngatia avoiding several tackles to touch down.

Puris Kaka completed the extras. An enterprising Jerry Rawlings added Nduru’s second try to give his side a 12-0 lead at the breather.

In the second half, Kisii School came out strongly and were rewarded a try courtesy of Edwin Omari. Purine Kaka put the game beyond Kisii School’s reach with an unconverted try.

In the semis, Kisii School overcame arch-rivals Cardinal Otunga High School, Mosocho 15-5 while Nduru Boys dismissed Rianyanchabera Mixed Secondary School 22-0 in the second semifinal.

Masime praised his charges saying he is looking forward to a better performance at the regionals. “We did not have enough time to train because schools were closed to pave way for elections. I expect my boys to do better at the regional level,” he noted.

He added: “At the regionals, I’m sure the competition will be stiff but we are going to represent the county well. This event was well organised and the referees also did a good job.”

Kisii School coach Hesbon Chweya conceded defeat, saying they lost to a better and more mature team.

The regionals will be held at Asumbi Teachers Training College in Homa Bay County
