MMUST RUGBY TEAM ROARS ITS WAY INTO KENYA CUP!

Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology Rugby team has qualified to join Kenya Cup Rugby competitions, after edging out Mean Machine from the University of Nairobi 22-12 in a highly thrilling Kenya Cup qualifiers played in MMUST on 13th February 2021.

The western based varsity boys came into this match guns blazing owing to the fact that their fate to remain on the pitch for the remaining part of the year hinged on the outcome of this match. This is after the ministry of health restricted all other levels of the league, allowing only teams in Kenya Cup to continue with the league. Nothing could disrupt their focus on the prize. Not even the heavy rains that poured just before the match begun. Once the match kicked off at 3:45 pm, Mean Machine seemed to have the game as the hosts settled into the game slowly. This made it easy for Mean Machine to capitalize on the penalties committed by MMUST.
