Janet Okello scored a hat-trick of tries as Kenya Lionesses kicked off their 2025 Rugby Africa Women’s Sevens campaign on the front foot after thrashing Ivory Coast 44-0 at RFUEA Grounds on Saturday afternoon.
The Safari Sevens champions were keen to begin their attempt to dethrone record champions South Africa on a bright start and also impress their home crowd as hosts, a goal they achieved thanks to brilliant play from Okello.
