The Strathmore Leos have successfully defended their Prinsloo 7s title, defeating KCB in a rain-affected final in Nakuru. The match was called off prematurely due to adverse weather, with the Leos leading convincingly by 24-07.
Strathmore started strong, with Victor Mola scoring a try in the opening minute. Stanslaus Shikoli quickly added a second, and Barnabus Owuor secured a fourth try, contributing to their dominant performance.
Speaking after the final, KCB RFC Head Coach Denis Mwanja said: “We gave it our all, but Strathmore were clinical in their execution. We have picked valuable lessons from Prinsloo, and now the focus is on sharpening our game as we head into Christie Sevens.”
In other tournament results, the Catholic Monks claimed third place, while Nakuru RFC finished in fifth. The Challenge Trophy was won by the Daystar Falcons, and Mombasa emerged victorious over Stallions in the 13th Place Final.
