Kenya Morans off to a good start as Shujaa survives Safari 7s scare

The Morans showed their attacking strength to overcome their opponents, with debutants playing a key role in the big win.

Kenya Morans got their Safari Sevens campaign off to an impressive start with a convincing 40-17 victory over Gel Sevens as the opening day of the tournament delivered plenty of action at Nyayo National Stadium on Friday.

Mike Lukusi opened the scoring after picking the ball from a scrum before setting up Dennis Ndayala Livoi for the second try. Lukusi then took a quick penalty to score his second try and give the Morans a 17-0 lead.

Gel 7s fought back with two quick tries to reduce the gap to 17-12, but Livoi completed his brace to restore the Morans’ control.

Debutants Lucky Onyango and Brighton Omondi also crossed the line to extend the lead to 40-12. Gel’s Marco Jones scored his second try late in the match, but it was not enough to stop the Morans from registering an impressive opening victory.
