This Sunday for the first time Ever I managed to make my way to the Rugby Football Union of East Africa grounds on Ngong road for Kenya's premier rugby event the Tusker Safari sevens. Lets just say I discovered what I've been missing all this years. It was a great day weather was fine unlike the previous day which had been freezing cold.
Almost immediately after I came in I witnessed our own Kenyan boys beat the world champions Fiji in the quarter finals on their way to the title. There was a really big crowd and it looks like soon we'll need arugby stadium to cater for all those fans. Also in attendance were the Prime minister and his deputy who was presenting the trophies.
Here are some pics (note:taken from a phone hence the quality) of the goings on.

Some of us at the 'Russia' stand
The dying minutes of the final- Kenya vs Emerging Springboks
Yet another shot from the finals
All in all it capped a fantastic weekend which began with the hugely successful Barcamp on Saturday. Now it's back to work after my week off...

Even though it's right in my backyard, I didn't attend Sevens. Too many other things going on! I'ma have to make a point of doing so next year.
