Kenya thrash Scotland to advance into World Cup Challenge Trophy semis

NAIROBI, Kenya, Sep 10 – A dominant Kenya side brushed a side Scotland 24-5 to storm into the semi-finals of the Challenge Trophy at the 2022 World Cup Sevens in Cape Town, South Africa.

Shujaa will now face England in the semis later tonight at 6:59pm EAT as they strive to win the Challenge Trophy after being eliminated in the Cup contention by Argentina.

Kenya took control of the first half heading to the breather with a comfortable 17-0 lead thanks to the three tries grounded by Herman Humwa, Billy Odhiambo and Vincent Onyala who recorded a man of the match performance.

In the second half, Oyoo wrapped up the try for Shujaa before Scotland scored their consolation try courtesy of Kaleem Baretto.

Speaking after the match Oyoo said they are now targeting to clinch the Challenge Trophy.

“It is a good start to get the win although yesterday we had a bad day, not the way we wanted. We are now still in a race to chase number nine. Injera (Collins) brought back the experience in the team, it is a boost for us and playing in our mother continent it is always feels at home,” Oyoo said.
