| Felix Osiemo in last year's Nakuru 10s |
Strathmore University 'Leos' made it to the semi finals in the just concluded Nakuru 10s. This was an improvement from last year's fifth finish. Leos were in pool D alongside Makerere University Impis, Daystar University and Maseno University.
The first game saw Leos beat Daystar 14-0 with tries from rookie winger Mike Wanjala and rookie fly-half Ken Andola. Andola was sure with both conversions. Second game saw Leos take on Maseno and won 12-0 with two tries courtesy of bulky hooker Edwin "Adebayor” Ombogo. Andola was sure with one conversion.
The last pool game of the day was Makerere. This was a hard fought game that saw Leos lose narrowly with the final score at 7-5. Try scorer for Leos was rookie centre Joseph Abala. This placed Leos second in the pool and face Nondescripts RFC in the main cup quarters.
Leos beat Nondescripts 14-10. Try scorers for Leos were long serving centers Teddy "Mashugee" Salano and Edgar Osege. Leos played Mwamba RFC in the semis. Mwamba's experience carried the match for them. Leos took a development side which showed a lot of promise. Man of the tournament honors for Leos went to Edwin Ombogo for his good work rate, tenacious defence and scoring of tries.
