Kyadondo Rugby Academy's U15 Teams Set for Turi 7s Tournament

The upcoming Turi 7s tournament, hosted by St. Andrew's Senior School, Nakuru, promises to be an exciting event, as the Kyadondo Rugby Academy's Under 15 teams prepare to compete alongside 16 boys' and 8 girls' teams from Kenyan schools. The event, scheduled for this Friday and Saturday, offers a unique opportunity for the Ugandan teams to showcase their skills against some of the best in the region.

With the tournament featuring teams from both private and public schools in Kenya, the Kyadondo Academy teams will be the sole representatives from Uganda. The primary objectives for Kyadondo ahead of this tournament are to provide young players with a platform to showcase their talents and create a pathway for the senior teams, the Buffaloes, Heathens, and Thunderbirds.

While the ideal outcome would be to win the tournament, Saddam Geoffrey, one of the coaches, has a broader perspective. "We are focusing on having fun and giving each player an opportunity to express themselves," he noted. The top 2 teams in the boys' category will progress to the Cup quarter-final stage, while the top 2 sides in the girls' competition will go straight to the semifinals.

The Turi 7s tournament is not just about winning; it's about nurturing young talent and encouraging them to stay in school. Upon their return, the Saturday morning sessions will continue, and the management will continue to seek new tournament opportunities to provide more exposure for the youngsters.

The boys' team will be coached by Peter 'Sky' Ochol and captained by Titus Omarwoth, while the girls' team will be captained by Alice Nakaweesi and coached by the legendary Lady Rugby Crane, Harriet Kayonjo. Let's wish the Kyadondo Rugby Academy teams the best of luck at the Turi 7s!
