Under the guidance of coach Kevin Wambua  Laiser Hill Academy emerged the 2017 Brookside East Africa Secondary Schools rugby 15s champions, after smashing Uganda’s St Mary’s Kisubi 64-0 in their last match round of the robin fixtures played at Comboni Vocational Institute Grounds in Gulu, Uganda .

The veteran coach is expecting a tougher competition this   year when the games kick off from August 12 to 19 in Musanze, Rwanda

“Last year we went to Uganda as the Kenyan champions, unfortunately that didn’t happen this year, but it will be a good chance to come back as champions of the region,” said a confident Wamanga.
