Koyonozo Secondary School are the new national rugby sevens champions.

The Kakamega County rugby sevens champions thrashed Butula Boys 31-0 in what will be a repeat of the Western Region finals yesterday to win this year's title.

In the process, Koyonzo punched their ticket to the East Africa Games slated for Arusha, Tanzania.

Speaking after the win, Koyonzo rugby coach Oscar Okaron said they cannot wait to play in Tanzania next week.

"To win the nationals unbeaten is no mean feat and I give it all to the young players who have shown that they can play rugby. Our journey doesn't end here as we eye to win the East Africa title," said Okaron.
