Kenya got off the mark just two minutes into the match and managed to grab a 5-0 lead through Nelly Shikombe, who cut through the left wing defence, although Sinaida Mokaya failed to convert.
Four minutes later, Simon Odongo’s men extended their lead to 12-0 with a fine try down the right wing, where Stellah Wafula broke through and headed the ball close to the post – a position which Mokaya managed to convert to emphasize their dominance.
Ladies Makis controlled the game for at least the next ten minutes, and the pressure of the contest saw the Kenyan Lionesses reduced to 14 players on the field after Naomi Jelagat was sent to the sin bin for 10 minutes.
But her absence wasn’t really felt, as while in the bin, Kenya 7s star Shelia Chajira made it 17-0, with Mokaya missing an extra man.
That try was followed minutes later by a powerful strike from Kenya, which saw Faith Livoi on the board, making it 22-0.
Before the break, Mokaya added three points from a well-taken penalty conversion, and Kenya went into halftime with a 25-0 lead.
Just like the first half, the second half was just as exciting, and the Lionesses immediately roared with Freshia Odor’s try from Maureen Muruti’s clever release to make it 30-0.
Odor then scored his second goal a few minutes later, extending the lead to 35-0.
The Lioness does not get tired; they continue to apply pressure because points are very important ahead of the final match, where they will face Bok Women.
Debutant Knight Otuoma was the next to score with his own try from a powerful maul, pushing the lead to 40-0.
Muruti was then another player to join the party with a personal try, finding space on the left flank and breaking through the Malagasy defense to make it 47-0 after he converted.
That was followed by a fine try from Chajira, who scored his second goal of the day to take a 52-0 lead.
In the final minutes, the Lionesses shut the door with a fine thumping strike in the right corner, adding five more points through Edith Nariaka for the final try as the Kenyan Lionesses managed to set up a tense final against Bok Women.
The meeting will determine the winner, because the Lionesses will come out on top thanks to a superior point difference of 90 compared to South Africa which has 86 points. As such, the Lionesses will hope to maintain that lead and become the second team ever to win the cup.
Uganda Lady Cranes and Madagascar also have work to do, as those who lost their final games on Sunday will face several challenges to escape relegation.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
