Kenya’s participation in last weekend’s IRB Women’s Sevens World Series qualifiers in Hong Kong has been described as a turning point.

The lessons learnt after the Kenyan team won one match against Mexico (55-0) and lost a close one to Hong Kong (14-17) will help the country to work on future progress, KRU Chairman Mwangi Muthee said yesterday when he welcomed the team home.
