Maseno School begun their journey to defend the Nyanza Regional rugby 15s title on the front foot after edging out Homa Bay High School 32-13 at Kisii School on Wednesday.
The defending champions will meet Nduru Boys today and head coach Steve Oluoch is confident of making it out of Group A unscathed.
"As champions, it was imperative that we get off the mark with a win and I am happy the boys executed everything we prepared for before the games," said Oluoch.
"It is not yet over anyways and now we turn our focus towards the remaining two matches against Nduru and St Mary's Yala."
St Mary's Yala narrowly defeated Nduru Boys 13-0 to pick their first win in Group A.
