Strathmore Leos are the 2022 Embu Sevens champions.
The university side were crowned champions after defeating defending champions Menengai Oilers 19-12 in the final staged at Njukiri Showgrounds.
Embu Sevens returned after two years of absence caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2019, Menengai Oilers defeated Nakuru 14-12 to win the title.
In the final, Brunson Madigu gave Leos a 7-0 lead before Steve Arunga replied with an unconverted try that reduced the scores to 7-5.
