Butula Boys Celebrate winning Rugby 7s title yesterday. [Jonah Onyango, Standard]
Butula Boys and Kinale Girls yesterday triumphed in their respective finals to lift the 2026 rugby 7s trophies at the ongoing National Tern Two games that end today at Mpesa Foundation Academy, Thika.
Backed by home crowds, Kinale drubbed Kimobo from Western 19-7 to retain their title and extend their reign to two years in a row. Butula tore apart Nyanza Region winners Cardinal Otunga Mosocho 26-0 to ensure they return the boys' trophy to Western. This was Butula’s maiden Sevens title.
Joyce Waihera, Sheldon Njeri and Daisy Valarie touched down for Kinale, with Valerie making two successful conversions. Josephine Chelimo had earlier scored for Kimombo with Sheila Kimutai converting her effort. Kinale captain Rahab Njeru attributed the victory to hard work, determination and the desire to defend their crown.
