Shujaa crush Wales to earn quarters ticket

The Kenya Sevens team sailed through to the Cup quarters of the Sydney Sevens with a convincing 27-12 win over Wales at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney, Australia on Saturday.

Wales Lewis Lloyd was the first to score after an error from the Kenyan defence handing the Welsh a five-pointer lead.

In the dying minutes of the first-half, the burly Willy Ambaka continued with his impressive performance at the Sydney Sevens with a magnificent try which was easily converted by Kenya Harlequins Eden Agero.

Agero kicked an overhead clinical kick to chase and pick the bouncing ball to score another superb individual try which Agero easily converted.

The scoreboard at half-time was 19-7 in favour of Shujaa, and they were not done yet as they created several chances after the break but faltered at the try box.

Joe Jenkins of Wales went under the posts which was unconverted but super-substitute Authur Owira of KCB scored Shujaa’s fourth try to seal their quarterfinals qualifications.

The Innocent Simiyu charges will now face South Africa in Sunday’s quarters.

Kenya is placed at position 11 with 13 points which they bagged during the just concluded Cape Town and Dubai Sevens.

A semi-final spot tomorrow will add more points to the inconsistent Kenya team that is trying to find its rhythm.

Their best moment came two seasons ago when they scooped the Singapore Sevens with 93 points.

In Summary
