Ayimba names squad for Safari Sevens

Ayimba names squad for Safari Sevens

Nine experienced players will miss the Safari Sevens rugby tournament due to injury.

Collins Injera, Billy Odhiambo, Oscar Ayodi, Leonard Mugaisi,Tony Owuor,Patrice Agunda, Daniel Sikuta, Lavin Asego, Ian Minjire and Dennis Ombachi are the notable omissions from the two squads that were named by Head Coach Benjamin Ayimba on Wednesday 30th September at the RFUEA grounds.

Ayimba will coach the Shujaa squad which will be captained by the experienced Andrew Amonde with Paul Murunga taking charge of the Morans squad that will be skippered by exciting Kenya Harlequin half back Eden Agero.

” The squad composition boiled down to fitness and just looking at what the younger players have to offer in terms of leadership. It also gives us an opportunity to look at whom we can blood into the squad as the season progresses,” Ayimba said.

“We could include them and win the tournament but lose them for the long run. We are basically managing them and ensuring they are fit for the Olympic qualifiers in November,  “he added.

The Safari Sevens will take place this Saturday and Sunday at the Kasarani Stadium
