Kakamega High beat St. Peter's to win county rugby 7s title

The shock of the tournament came when defending champions Koyonzo High School suffered a 10-14 defeat at the hands of St. Peters' Mumias in the semi-finals.

Koyonzo who were favourites having enjoyed a good run in the last two years boast of winning the East Africa 7s title without losing to any school in Kenya. Kakamega whipped Musingu 27-10 in the other semis to set a date with the saints.

Heading into the finals, the Amos Wamanga-led charges registered a 53-7 win against Mwihila boys in the group preliminary stage. Kakamega went on to extend their winning streak by defeating Milimani's secondary 52-0 before winding the day with another huge win by beating Kilimani 58-00 to book their quarter-final slot where they humbled Ingotse 19-05.

Koyonzo settled for third place after beating Musingu 12-05 in the third and fourth playoffs.

All four teams will qualify for the Western Region Secondary Schools Sports Association (WRSSSA) and will fly the Kakamega County flag in the competition to take place at Bungoma High School on a yet to be confirmed date.

Kakamega who are the five-time National 7s champions and eight-time National 15s champions will be keen to gain their lost glory after being in the cold from the national competition since 2019.

On the girl's side, Mwira girls were declared winners after beating Eregi girls in the finals.
