PRINSLOO SEVENS
This tournament, the second leg of the KRU National Sevens Circuit is named in honour of Pete Walter Prinsloo,a rugby veteran of South African origin from Nakuru who revamped the game in Nakuru in the 80s.
He died from diabetes compications but not before losing two limbs and facing several other complications. He had to go around in a wheelchair but his did not stop his enthusiasm and love for the game. This year's event is the fourth edition in honour of his efforts and following a very successful premier in October 2007, there should be a lot of fireworks as the NSC engages into second gear with the Prinsloo Sevens.
The Nakuru and great rift valley region has over the years produced brilliant players. Allan Omuyaku, Pascal Wetukha, Ben Otieno,Jotham Owili, Cyprian Shimenga,Edwin Shimenga and Enos Otieno and 2009 revelation Oscar Ouma, now a starting backrow for the Kenya XVs are just some of the players who have been blooded through the Nakuru RFC system, breaking out to become key players in subsequent years. Current Kenya Sevens vice captain Gibson Weru captains the host side, Nakuru RFC.
What will it be like when sevens rugby hits the Rift Valley town of Nakuru on Saturday 28th August 2010?
