Kenya Lionesses made a strong start to their Rugby Africa Women's Cup campaign after overpowering Uganda Lady Cranes 43-10 in an exciting East African derby at RFUEA Grounds on Saturday.
Lionesses produced a dominant display, especially in attack, as they pulled away from their rivals after a tight opening period to secure an impressive victory in the Performance Division clash.
Kenya needed some time to settle into the match, but once they found their rhythm, they proved too strong for Uganda. The breakthrough came through the pace and creativity of Janet Okello, who burst through the Ugandan defence before setting up Moreen Muritu for the opening try under the posts.
