Guest Post - From the Ladies in Dubai - 2

I missed doing a post yesterday as promised and since we have been overtaken by events I’ll dive right into today’s current affairs.

Day 3 and final day for theIRB Dubai HSBC 7s, & day 2 for the women’s tournament.

Yesterday’s scores for Kenya Lionesses v:

Kenya 10 Khimki 7

Kenya 20 Burevestnik 0

Kenya 0 Samurai Dubai 25

Kenya come second in pool C and move into main cup quarter finals today at 1040hrs against Rugby Ecosse Feminin who topped their pool D.

No. 1 & 2 in the pools play main cup quarters today, No. 3 & 4 play plate quarters today.

I would like to recognize Willy Ombisi, 7s director KRU who is sort of in our ‘camp’. He officially opened our training session back in October when we started preparations. He is with us in Dubai, delicately balancing his time & attention between the women and men. & most probably has been to the watembezi & homeboys camp as well. The women’s team have hardly ever received this much moral and personal support from a director, thanks Willy!

We arrive Kenya tomorrow Sunday at 6.40am

Now back to the business at hand, we need to reach the main cup…

No, no no. If we wanted to know the scores we would have just gone to the Dubai 7s page. You needed to have given a bit more detail about the how the Kenyan girls played their games, the sytle of play of the opponents, mentioned a few names etc. YOu need to give readers a chance to identify with the players/team - that's the only way people will pick interest in women's rugby. Otherwise well done to the team.

Otherwise well done to the Kenya Lionesses despite losing their quarter final game today against Rugby Ecosse Feminin. I believe they are now out of the tournament. Strange tournament format.
