It’s been a great day for sports in Kenya. After the overwhelming Harambee Stars win, the Kenya Sevens National team, Shujaa bagged the title of runners up in the Africa 7s where Zimbabwe beat them 5-17.
We bow out of the #Africa7s as the runners up. #Shujaa

The rugby team was battling out for the Africa 7s championship title after they beat Madagascar 36-5 in the semi-finals. Although Kenyans had hope that the team would be crowned the Africa 7s champions, they still celebrated the victory and congratulated the team which has always put Kenya on the map.
Not the result we wanted but well done #Shujaa. You represented the country well. Congrats on how far you have come. Keep on going. The whole nation is behind you. #Africa7s
