Moscow: Kenya have registered their second win at the Rugby World Cup Sevens in
Moscow, the 31-5 result over Zimbabwe putting them within reach of a
main cup quarter final berth.
Zimbabwe made life difficult for Kenya
early on, dominating the early exchange but Mike Friday's charges held
their nerve, Biko Adema dummying his opponents before grounding the
ball, his unconverted try putting Kenya 5-0 up.
Now with the momentum, Kenya ate into
Zim territory and Felix Ayange scored his third try of the
tournament,Adema missing the conversion with the scores at 10-0. Willy
Ambaka would score the simplest of tries, Adema's conversion putting
Kenya 17-0 before Tafadzwa Chitokwindo pulled one back for the Cheetahs,
17-5 the half time scores.
Former skipper Humphrey Kayange punished
a Zim mistake on the restart, scoring under the posts with Adema
converting for a 24-5 lead before Oscar Ouma sealed the deal for Kenya,
his try and Lavin Asego's conversion handing Kenya the 31-5 result.
Up next is a clash against Samoa at
2.14pm, a clash that Kenya must win to top the pool and reach the
quarters by virtue of being Pool C winners. (Kenya Rugby News).
