The men’s national sevens team that will represent the country at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England has been revealed.
Nelson Oyoo skippers the team and is one of three survivors from the side that did duty at the 2018 Games in Gold Coast, Australia, the others being Willy Ambaka and Billy Odhiambo who makes his third consecutive Commonwealth Games squad, having first featured at the 2014 Games in Glasgow, Scotland.
With Shujaa set to face Australia, Uganda and Jamaica in Pool D in Birmingham, Head Coach Damian McGrath said, “The boys are in a good place, we have been working well with Coach Geoffrey Kimani over the past few weeks to ensure that they are ready. Kenya is a team to be feared and we expect to make it out of the pool and reach the knockout stages. “
The rugby sevens competition in Birmingham runs from Friday 29 July to Sunday 31 July at the Coventry Stadium.
