The Daystar Falcons Rugby Team is going to the Driftwood Sevens tournament this weekend which will be held in Mombasa Sports Club.
The Falcons are optimistic as we reflect on their good performance during the first two rounds of the National Sevens Circuit in Kabeberi and Christie Sevens. With the hard runs on the wing by Patrick Odongo, mighty hand-offs by Floyd Wabwire, raging-bull-agression by by Trevor Opondo, dancing sidesteps by Clinton Kioko, hard and heavy runs by Augustine Owino, good kicks by Captain John Oliele, smart moves by Emmanuel Opondo and skilful dives into the try line by David Williams, indeed they are worthy opponents to their rival teams.
They are placed in Group B with the Kenya Cup side , KCB and Kabras RFC, together with their fellow Championship side South Coast Pirates. It is not an easy task with all these teams portraying a good performance in the recent two circuits but the Daystar Rugby Falcons have all that it takes to outshine them for as with prayer, smart work and the bond between the players, everything is positively possible.
