Kenya Sevens side Shujaa kept alive their hopes of returning to the top level of the World Rugby Sevens Series despite suffering a quarter-final exit at the ongoing Valladolid 7s in Spain yesterday.

Shujaa endured a difficult start in the second leg of the SVNS Championship after losing their opening two Group A matches on Friday. Kenya first went down 15-10 to Australia before suffering a 14-0 defeat against South Africa.

The back-to-back losses left Kenya in a difficult position and in danger of an early elimination from the tournament.
