Oloo joins Barrhaven Scottish RFC as part of the coaching staff

Former Kenya Lioness Coach Felix Oloo has been unveiled at Ottawa’s barrhaven Scottish rugby football club in Canada where he is to start his new role as part of the clubs coaching staff.

“I am hugely honoured to be part of the coaching staff for a club of this calibre, one that means so much to me and am quickly adapting into the system,” Oloo said.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment with Kenya lionesses and I must say I was very fortunate to work with an incredible group of staff and players who had different personalities but shared a common goal each day in striving for success of Kenya Women Rugby.

“I believe we have tried to establish structures in place even though with little resources and facilities to match and that it will be a smooth transition for the next coach as they try to ensure continued development and success of Kenya Women Rugby.”

Oloo previously held coaching roles with Nakuru RFC(Women & Men), Kenya Lionesses (15s &7s), Nakuru day high school and Nakuru age grade programs.

KRU Director in charge of Women Rugby, Moses Ndale, said, “I would like to thank Felix Oloo for the hardwork and diligence during his tenure, it was not an easy job. It was important that Kenya Women Rugby have someone who understood the unique history and culture of Kenya Women Rugby and had the experience to maximise the talent in the squad as he did.

“Oloo was very impressive throughout his tenure and demonstrated that he had the capabilities to spearhead the next chapter of Kenya Women Rugby as was seen in his achievement in Tokyo Olympics, Africa Women Cup, Africa Women 7s, Dubai 7s invitational , Elgon Cup and in the local league.”

“Oloo’s extensive coaching experience and knowledge for the game makes him the perfect candidate to lead any squad forward any where in the world.

“For now, we will continue our focus on the remainder of this year’s busy calendar with Denise Mwanja and the coaching staff concentrating on achieving our goals from the work that has been carried out to date by Felix Oloo. We wish him all the best in his new endeavors”. Concluded Ndale.
