KRFU call off women's international

The KRFU has called off the Kenya versus Uganda women's game that was scheduled to take place on 11th August prior to the men's Elgon Cup decider claiming lack of funds. This comes as a huge disappointment to both teams as they were looking forward to renewing their rivalry on the pitch.

The Kenyan women had held their trial games on 28th July at the KCB grounds in Nairobi, while the Ugandans had held their trails on the same date at the Kampala Rugby Football Club.

This is the second time KRFU has put a spanner in the works, the first time being in May when they declined to send a women's 15 aside team to Uganda claiming all their key players were tied up with preparations for the CAR 7's.
