This was an improvement from the 2019 inaugural edition where Kenya managed just three medals. The women\u2019s 3×3 basketball team secured bronze while the women’s double tennis team that consisted of Faith Urasa and Shufaa Ruwa Changawa, managed silver.<\/p>\n

The duo of Mathayo Mahabila and Mark Omumasaba won bronze and silver in the 80kgs and 90kgs wresting categories respectively. Another silver medal was won by the women’s handball team.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted with our performance as a team. We have worked really hard for the result we achieved,” basketballer, Margaret Nerea observed. Kenya lost 18-10 to Mali despite putting up a brave show.<\/p>\n

Skipper Mary Lisa Omond added: \u201c We lost due to the small errors in defence and our passing under the rim need to be fine-tuned. All in all, we are proud for the milestone achievement.”<\/p>\n
