Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Kenya Lionesses head coach Dennis Mwanja has been named the inaugural SJAK\/StarTimes coach of the month for November. Mwanja, who doubles up as the KCB RFC assistant coach, led the national team to the Africa Cup title in Uganda, beating the hosts 23-3 and Zambia 36-17 to gain promotion to Africa Pool ‘A’.<\/p>\n

The Lionesses will, however, face a stern test next year when they face champions South Africa, Namibia and Cameroon. The former Kenya Sevens skipper says his long-term goal will be to qualify for the Rugby World Cup in 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy long-term goal will be to qualify for the rugby World Cup and for the next two years, we will have to ensure the team gets exposed to elite tournaments as well as put the right structures in place,” added Mwanja.<\/p>\n

On top of being named the Coach of the Month, Mwanja walked away with Sh100,000, a StarTimes 55-inch smart television set and a personalised trophy, thanks to title sponsor StarTimes Kenya.<\/p>\n

Mwanja edged out Meshack Senge of Strathmore Gladiators, Paul Gitau of Kenya Pipeline, national cricket team coach David Obuya and KCB’s Curtis Olago.<\/p>\n
