round up off blakkies' run in the nakuru great rift ten -a -side

The first match was against makerere university impis,a tight affair the blad won 5 to nil followed by the ruthless dissection of debutantes barclays.r.f.c ofwhich we won 41 t 0 .ultimately this as the game where trouble started with captain george okoa pulling his hamstring on my way the try line,weakening our squad to face strathmore leos significantly.we met the eventual joint champs with the cup quterfinal berth secured but alot of campus pride on the line.the blakkies lost 17 to 7.By qualifying as one of the two best runners up,our fate was in our hand.turns out the previous day's pool game was a curtain raiser to a quater's date with the leos which the blakkies again lost to strath 17to 7 setting up a plate semi with the old enemy mean machine.Perhaps inexperienced cost us and the young squad couldn't kill off the tie despite huge possession thus opening a window through which machine sneaked a 5 to nil win.
