He acknowledged that training was tough, as he had been away for a few months due to injury before playing for the Simbas and later joining Shujaa.

Kubu adds that his father had always wanted to see him play at this level and now that he is no longer with them, he knows his father is smiling down on him and offering his support.

Kenya will meet Argentina in their first match at 9.08am tomorrow.

Our national men’s 7s team will meet Uruguay at 7.08am tomorrow to open up the tournament.
