After failing to win the national rugby 7 circuit, Menengai Cream Homeboyz head coach Paul Murunga was a man on a mission.

When his team failed to win the title with a two-point deficit, Murunga promised to bring a new ball game this season.

He said that he was determined to score as many points as possible by opening the legs and maintaining the form as the series enters the sprint.

He had already traveled this road and was not ready to repeat the sorrow that he had suffered.

"Last season we missed a punch but this time we will apply a different tactic to accumulate as many points as possible.We must win early enough," said Murunga after winning the Prinsloo Sevens title at the Nakuru Athletic Club on July 22.

And by winning the title Sepetuka Sevens, the race in the remaining legs is to lose, following their current form.
