Kenya lost to South Africa 60-0 in the finals of the rugby Sevens to clinch silver at the Africa Youth Games in Gaborone, Botswana. South Africa, who had earlier beaten Kenya 33-0 in the group stages, finished the tournament without conceding a try. Kenya’s coach Paul Murunga, said Kenya was complacent after beating Zimbabwe 17-12 in the semi-final. “I think my players feared the opponents. Again, we did not have the mental strength to play the final.” Zimbabwe beat Namibia 22-14 to win bronze.
