GRAND ENTRY OF SINGAPORE LIONS: Kenya Sevens team receives warm welcome

Dark clouds pregnant with the promise of heavy downpour hang over Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and the rest of Nairobi most of yesterday morning. The chill got right down to the bones, and the gloom of the cold April weather was reflected on many faces.

But less than an hour to the landing of the ‘Lions of Singapore’, the Kenya Sevens heroes, a strong wind swept through the city, cleared the skies and took with it any signs of rain. Meanwhile, thousands of feet in the sky, a jet got closer, bringing the Kenyan world beaters home to proud relatives, friends and fellow citizens.
