The second weekend of floodlit action bore no suprises with the matches going as predicted. Lenana beating vastly improved Kiambu High 10:0 and Nairobi getting a 32:0 wide margin. ?Giant Killers? USIU?s luck came to an end at Impala grounds when they lost to KCB 22:5. This could be defined as the match of the day, with USIU blowing the warning signals early in the starting minutes.

This was a different affair for schoolboys this year with no beer sold until seven, when they were back, locked, safe and sound at school, with a lot of pressure to the organizers from parents and the press, the fans had to do without beer for a while. However things might have different off-pitch, they were enough surprises this year on the pitch. Thika High beat MFA in a highly tense match, but it was USIU who caused the biggest upset beating Nondies 11-8 with a late score that sent the ?whites? out of contention. They had to blame for putting Charles Cardovillis at Fly half. He was blatantly out of place playing there, with Kanyi Gitonga who had few good runs playing at center.

As the Old Song says -
"I've
washed my face in the morning dew
And bathed it in the sun
Dum-dum, dum, dum,
diddle-dee dum dum,
my
journey's just begun".
Yes, my/our 2004 journey has just begun. In
NZ, we've washed away our tears - our eyes have at last changed from misty red
to clear, but that dreadful hurt is still extremely close. This year, 2004, we
will do our very best to settle down, stow away our heady aspirations of 2003,
and start with a clean slate, again.
We did something similar after 1999, but we did not do a thorough enough job.

According to Sir Isaac Newton, every action has a corresponding and commensurate reaction. The NARC government has brought with it a euphoria of change, sense of responsibility and ability to perform, but lets keep out of politics and focus on its after effects. Kenya?s emergence as a rugby power is putting us under immense pressure. This seems to be working out good for Kenya rugby. We are press-ganged to perform. Necessity breeds invention.
