NAIROBI, Kenya, Apr 17 – Kenya dropped to the Challenge trophy at the Vancouver 7s in Canada after managing only one win out of three matches on the opening day.
Shujaa went down 12-19 to England in their last match where they needed to win and hope Mike Friday’s USA loses to high flying Fiji.
It was a dramatic Pool A where three teams, England, USA and Kenya finished with 5 points each after winning one match each while Fiji collected maximum points to top the pool.
If Kenya had not lost 38-7 against Fiji in her second match, and hope the other results returned their favor, then they would stand a chance to squeeze into the Cup Quarter-finals.
Kenya will now face Ireland in the 9th place quarter-finals Sunday at 19:44.
