After four games of asking, Kenya Sevens finally picked up their first win of the Dubai 7s with a 26-14 win over Scotland in the 13th Place Play-Offs.
Kenya had a nightmare start to the HSBC Sevens Series after losing all their opening games of Pool D, going down to South Africa, England, and Spain.
After a tightly contested opening half, Shujaa finally got points on the board in the 7th minute when Andrew Amonde set up Dan Sikuta for a try.
Another try ensured in the second minute of injury time in the first half with Vincent Onyala dotting down a try with Kenya heading into the break with a 14-0 lead courtesy of two Johnstone Olindi’s conversions.
Sam Pecqueur powered through the Kenya defense in the 10th minute to half the deficit but Kenya restored their 14 point lead two minutes later when Johnstone Olindi scored his third try of the tournament with Daniel Taabu adding the extras.
Alvin Otieno who has had a decent tournament bagged his second try in Dubai but Harvey Elms’s try saw Scotland finish the game with 14 points.
A 13th place finish saw Kenya collect four points in the tournament as they next prepare for the Cape Town 7s next week.
