MOI RUGBY TEAM DOWNS MULTIMEDIA

Moi University rugby team showed an impressive performance which earned them a qualification to the nationwide league with their counterparts Egerton University.

The team downed the Hawks of MMU in both home and away matches, a team which is most feared in the league for its long outstanding prowess in the game.

The team, which registered their first remarkable performance in the league had a daunting task of eliminating the Hawks, who put up a strong fight but as they say if you can sour with the eagles above, then you don’t need to peck with the chickens below, the Hawks had to bow out for the our team to sour above.

However, the school’s rugby captain Remy Wanyama admits that it was not a ride in the park to semi finals as the league comprised of 18 teams which were all eying for the coveted position.

“We had to train extra hard to face and beat teams like KU and MMU which have always believed that qualification for the nationwide league is an automatic preserve for them”. Said Wanyama.

He added that Moi University team by qualifying has proved the critics wrong and especially those who thought the team was a decimal among giants and could not make it to the helm.

Wanyama notes that the team had set its eye on the nationwide league just from the start when they thrashed both Kenya Polytechnic and Kimathi University in the quarterfinals and semi finals respectively.
