Quins started their campaign at the Dala Sevens where they lost to Kabras Sugar in the semifinal before finishing sixth at the Driftwood Sevens in Mombasa.

Kenya Harlequins head coach Paul Murunga has lauded his side for making it to the final of the National Sevens Circuit Prinsloo Sevens leg staged in Nakuru.

Quins started their campaign at the Dala Sevens where they lost to Kabras Sugar in the semifinal before finishing sixth at the Driftwood Sevens in Mombasa.

At the just-concluded Prinsloo Sevens, they unfortunately lost 5-10 to Kabras Sugar in the Main Cup final but Murunga still remains impressed.

“Prinsloo has been good for us since we made it to the final. We started our campaign quite well and I’m impressed.

"From Mombasa, we went back to the drawing board and we learnt from our mistakes, and from our display here, it’s evident that we were able to correct most of our mistakes,” he said.

However, Quins were not off to a good start in Nakuru as they drew 26-26 in their opening match against Blak Bad before charging up to carry the day after winning 26-5 over KCB.

He also lauded Mwamba RFC for putting up a good fight against them in their quarterfinals where his side won 17-0. Their semifinal match was against Menengai Oilers where they stunned the Nakuru-based side 14-12.

“We didn’t start off well but things worked in our favour. The boys have really impressed and that’s what we are working towards going forward. It was a good show for us from day one.

"Our game against Mwamba was a tough one but our boys managed to score…they were really a tough opponent,” he said.
