The future of Kenya's women rugby is bright; if the skills, potency and passion displayed by girls' teams at this year's Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) Term 2A national games in Nyeri is anything to go by.

Drawn from most parts of the country, the 16 girls' teams played their hearts out in an effort to convince KSSSA and the government that they deserve a place in the annual schools sports calendar.
