Kisii School and Upper Hill School rugby teams battle during the national games finals in Kisumu. [Jonah Onyango, Standard]
Champions Kisii School dismantled Uganda’s Namilyango College to begin their title defence with an emphatic 47-3 victory as the 2026 East Africa rugby 15s began yesterday at Sokoine University of Agriculture in Morogoro, Tanzania.
Kisii, who finished second at the nationals, totally outplayed the Ugandans, who surrendered to their fate, for they could not keep up with the Kenyans' pace.
In another encounter, national champions and former East Africa winners Upper Hill beat Uganda’s St Mary’s College Kisubi 25-12 in a tightly contested duel. Richard Omondi, Shavan Ochieng, Abdalla Mohammed, and Shakur Ndaira touched down once for Upper Hill with Benjamin Echeru adding five points from a penalty and a conversion.
