Kenya 7s: Shujaa fight hard but fall short to resistant Spain in edgy second encounter at Madrid Grand Final
Shujaa will have to beat Chile on Saturday evening to keep their promotion hopes alive, having already beaten Samoa in their opening match.
“Some of our boys took part in the Rugby Super Series, while others have been intensifying their training to be ready for this event. We are urging our fans to rally behind the team on Saturday.”
KCB's lineup features key players such as Bob Muhati, Levy Amunga, Brian Wahinya, Emmanuel Opondo, and Michael Wamalwa, who are expected to lead the charge towards the title.

Kenya Sevens co-captain Vincent Onyala and Samuel Asati will be absent from the weekend’s action as they are competing in the World Sevens Grand final in Madrid, Spain from May 31 to June 2.
