Last try by Jeff Oluoch sent Shujaa, the national men’s seven aside rugby team into the semifinal match of the Hong Kong Sevens.
The 19-12 win against Scotland in quarter final in the early morning set a date against New Zealand in semifinal play at 11:00am Kenyan time.
Oluoch made a try between the posts that was well converted by Sammy Oliech.
Willy Ambaka opened the scoring with Oliech drilling home the difficult conversion for a 7-0 score before Jamie Farndale responded for Scotland, Ruaridh Jackson converting to level up the scores.
Scotland piled the pressure on Shujaa but Oscar Ouma struck with a long range try to see Innocent Simiyu’s charges take a 12-7 lead into the interval.
It was still close in the second half, Shujaa’s forward movement hampered by a series of unforced errors. Farndale soon landed his brace to restore parity before Oluoch’s intervention moments before full time.
