The Kenya U20 rugby national team are out to defend their Rugby Africa U20 Barthes Cup title when they meet Madagascar on Sunday at the Nyayo National Stadium.
All eyes will be on Chipu’s utility man Andrew Matoka who leads the scoring charts of the season after two rounds of action.
Matoka has 15 points coming off one try, two conversions and two penalties in the total of 90 points scored in the competition so far.
Defending champions Kenya opened their U20 Barthes Trophy campaign with a 50-3 thrashing of Senegal on 26th June and they will be looking to replicate the same performance when they face Madagascar in the last fixture of this year’s tournament.
Chipu have been in camp for the past three weeks under coach Curtis Olago and former Kenya international Peter Mutai, also the Team Manager.
Kenya are using this tournament to prepare for next year’s Junior World Trophy.
Chipu hosted and won the Barthes Cup competition in 2019 and qualify for the World Junior tournament held in Brazil and securing the sixth position.
The Barthes Cup tournament is used as a qualifier to the Junior World Rugby.
