Big congrats to Waweru and the whole Malindi Rugby Community. Looks like we made it. Last year, St Georges looked like unbeatable opposition, and the boys gathered all of their courage, focus and discipline and worked hard on upping their game all year last year. We strolled through the Districts as expected with some stiff competition from Barani, and now, it seems like we've taken down the cyclops! We beat St Georges twice in the tournament, once in the opening stages 10-7 and once in the final 6-0!!!
Great work boys!!! Today, the semi-finals didn't go all Malindi RFC's way, while Malindi thrashed Lutsa'ni 31-0, St Georges did beat Galana 15-3, dashing the hopes of an all Malindi RFC final. Malindi high stepped up, and won the final with a pair of drop kicks scored through the deft kicking of Stephen Biko.
This feels a bit like winning the Coast Championship for Malindi, as St Georges won all the games last year against Malindi in both 15s and 7s. But Malindi High's boys must step up and stay focussed as there are sure to be strong challenges ahead in the form of Shimo la Tewa coached by Achayo as well as the perennially strong Taita teams and let's not forget Kwale and the All Blacks from Waa. The provincials will be held on the 25th at Shimo la Tewa and Shanzu. The nationals are at the Coast this year as well...
Hopefully with our pedigree this year, we might win a couple more games at the Nationals if we make it! ;)
