Black Panthers take Toyota 7's

Black Panthers beat Rangers 34 - 00 while the Thunderbirds beat the Rangers 29 - 00 to set up a mouth watering clash at the Toyota 7's last weekend. In a game characterised by big hits and crunching tackles, the BlackPanthers scored first then held on to win the game 05 - 00 to become the Toyota 7's women's champions.

The women will now switch their attention to the 15 aside code as they are scheduled to curtain raise the men's 2011 rugby world cup qualifier on June 13th.

Elgon Cup first leg shifted to August

The Kenya Rugby Football Union (KRFU) has opted to change the date for the first leg of the Elgon Cup. Originally slated for May, KRFU will now host Uganda in August, 2 weeks before the return leg in Uganda. This allows both the women's teams to concentrate on the CAR 7's in June before switching their attention to the 15 side friendlies.
