I know, I know what about saints did they not win all those Prescott cups in the early 90's? They did but I said school boy which is supposed to have age restrictions. My brother played on rift 89 team and I watched against saints I played on rift 91-94 and played against same saint players that my brother did!!!! I was at rift 4 years and made it to finals each year saint won 2 lenana 1 and rift in 94. Lenanas team that won was the better team and the two saint teams were also the better team, but come on saints, are you guys really that proud of those wins, 15,16,17, and 18 year old schools against 20,21 maybe even 22 year old men. Those rift school boys took you young men to the last few minutes of both games and in 94 those rift schools boys took you young saints men to the last minutes of the game and came out victorious. We did loose those two finals against and yes this is an excuse but a good one as for the finals loss we had to lenana I can't say anything except congradutations to the better team that year. We had overaged players that we did not play, why? Because at rift we won our games and trophies through discipline and all aspects of discipline including "playing by the rules" Dominant team of the 80′s no doubt rift, dominant team 90′s (at least Early 90′s) in school boys rugby also rift except one year which clearly went toLenana and well deserved.

I don't care what anyone says but I will always consider The Mean Maroon of 1993 as the best team ever fielded. Trust me, I'm aware of all the exploits of The Mean Maroon teams, past and present, but damn these chaps were awesome! I always preferred the classic solid Maroon kit and had a bad feeling about the home game against Saints when the striped kit was "re-unveiled" and we subsequenly lost the match though there were major discrepancies about the refereeing. All the same, the return match at Saints' was a massacre of the aforementioned enroute to our Prescott glory. Ha! I remember them toying with the Hillcrest squad in one of the early matches. The triumphant 1993 team (as submitted by C.D.) was as follows: 01 – Byron Otieno 02 – Jimmy Karimi 03 – Muniafu (Moon) 04 – Ariba Olembo 05 – Nicholas Macharia (Mache) 06 – Jeff Ngwabe (Fox) 07 – Felix Gichaga (Shaggy) 08 – Russel Odour (Russ) 09 – Tony M‘Barine (Bryo) 10 – Donald Onyango (C.D.) 11 – Ben Opiyo/Felix Gichaga 12 – Joesph Mcharo (Jose) 13 – Eugene Ligale (Genis/Indash) 14 – Cyprian Okwuomi (Kwamse)/ Abuya Tamaro (Anti-Kimbo) 15 – Nicholas Gatei/Cyprian Okwuomi The '94 team was great too with Akwabi, Arunga, Bwayo, Magua, Moikobu (Copa II), Muteti (Spondi), Obure (Big), Otieno...apologies...I can't recall the rest. They won John Andrews against a great Njoro squad and later The Nationals. I believe Saints retained Blackrock. As defending champs, Prescott was hard-fought but they sadly short and thus begun the severe Prescott drought until the '99 squad redeemed us. The expanded Prescott format has revealed that there's phenomenal rugby talent beyond the original elite four i.e. Lenana (Duke of York), RVA, Nairobi School (Prince of Wales) and Saint Mary's (Saints)...Mang'u seems to have climbed up the ranks...just giving props where they are due. Win or lose, Lenana will always be a formidable opponent. Kenyan rugby has featured prominently on the international scene and I'm so proud of our Seven-a-side team that has defeated the best in the world. Looks like there's much more work to be done with the XVs... Guaranteed...there are better days to come. We WILL eventually win that 7s World Cup and other notable tourneys! Would be nice if there are a few Former Mean Maroons in that (future) history-making winning squad! Make us proud guys!! Hello again, fiercely loyal rugby fans,
