Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Kisii School started their hunt for the Kisii County Secondary Schools rugby 7\u2019s title on a flying note after a resounding 48-0 win over Nyagichenche as Term Two Games kicked off on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

In the match played at Nyakeyo Secondary, Kisii School led 20-0 at the breather. Kisii School are also the county and regional 15\u2019s champions. The school\u2019s games master, Hesborn Chweya, was bullish on the team\u2019s chances of winning the 7\u2019s title.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to lift the 7\u2019s title. Our target is to reach the nationals again. Most of the players who represented us at the nationals in 15\u2019s are also playing for the 7\u2019s team,\u201d said Chweya.<\/p>\n

He cited Cardinal Otunga High School, Mosocho as their main rival. Former champions Nyabigena and Itierio Boys also recorded wins. Nyabigena edged Moi Gesusu 19-0 while Itierio Boys drubbed St John\u2019s Nyamagwa 22-10.<\/p>\n

In their second game, Moi Gesusu played to a 10-10 draw against Orogare. Nyagichenche thrashed Nyakeiri 34-0 as Igonga also recorded a 29-0 over Riokindo.<\/p>\n

In the absence of last year\u2019s champions Nduru Boys, new winners will emerge. Nduru were eliminated at the sub-county level by Nyabigena. Nduru, who were last year\u2019s semifinalist at the nationals, have been on a downward spiral after the transfer of former principal J.J. Masime.<\/p>\n

In Kisumu County, Maseno School will have an easy ride as they seek to retain their title when the championship gets underway today (Thursday) at Kisumu School.<\/p>\n

Maseno will open their campaign in Pool \u2018A\u2019 against Lions School before taking on Nyamasaria. In Pool B, Nyabondo, Kisumu School, and Kwoyo Mixed will square it out while in Pool \u2018C\u2019 Thurdbuoro, Magwar Mixed and Ngere Boys will battle it out. Pool D has emerging sports powerhouse Onjiko School, Otieno Oyoo and Chemelil Academy.<\/p>\n
