Kenya stayed unbeaten in the Rugby Africa Gold Cup with a 45-25 win over Senegal at the RFUEA grounds yesterday.
Steve Sargos put Senegal ahead with an early penalty but the Simbas, with their first foray into the visitors half, built from this and scored through Darwin Mukidza.
He would double his try tally, selling an audacious dummy that split apart the Senegalese defense before racing clear to touch down. The ensuing conversion saw the Simbas go 12-3 up.
Senegal were not out of it yet, Mathieu Boscaro’s hard running eventually creating a platform for Sargos to touch down. Boscaro’s conversion brought the score to 12-10
The hosts were forced into an early substitution, Dennis Muhanji replacing the injured Jacob Ojee.
The game would then dip into a lull, Senegal disrupting Kenya’s rhythm before Dennis Muhanji went over with Mukidza converting for the 24-10 half time score.
Jerome Paarwater would throw on Curtis Lilako and Phil Ikambili for Dennis Karani and Peter Karia respectively at the start of the second half. [KRU website]
