Kenya hit historic century mark: Shujaa are the 2018 London 7s Challenge Trophy WinnersSunday, June 3rd 2018 at 19:47 GMT +3 | Rugby By Rodgers Eshitemi:Kenya have achieved their historic pre-season target of 100 points after qualifying and winning Sunday’s London Sevens Challenge Trophy final, at Twickenham Stadium. This is the first time in Shujaa’s history that the team has hit the century mark at the World Sevens, and are likely add more points at next weekend’s final leg of the season in Paris. Kenya’s best ever performance in the series has been a haul of 99 points in the 2012/2013 season. Kenya were relegated to the Challenge Trophy for the first time since the Cape Town Sevens after registering mixed results in their day one Group C fixtures. However, Augustine Lugonzi and Willy Ambaka grounded a converted try each to give the East Africans a 21-5 half time lead.
