Kenyan duo of Faith Urasa and Shufaa Ruwa Changawa won bronze in tennis doubles on the last day Africa Beach Games in Hammamet, Tunisia.
The two defeated Tunisia's duo of Manel Loudhabachi and Sarah Louati by straight sets of 6-4, and 6-2 to increase Team Kenya's medal tally to four.
While talking to the press Changawa said that they had to rely on inner strength to overcome the hostile home crowd for the win.
She said they had not trained for long and had to rely on instincts most of the time to see games through.
This was Urasa, first ever medal for the country in an international event.
She said that she was motivated to train harder and win gold in the next continental games.
