National Sevens Kings 'Kenya Harlequin' are in Kampala, Uganda this weekend where they will be making their debut in the HIMA 10's tournament. Quins who are still in celebratory mode are making their first 'tour' of the year and this time it is to neighbouring Uganda.
The team more a developmental side is led by Head Coach Thomas Odundo with Sidney Ashioya as assistant coach and Allan Khakame as Team Manager. Eliud Siganga represents the management side while Jack Masika wears the captains armband. All in all we wish the team well rugbywise and otherwise while they are on tour in the 'Pearl of Africa'.
The off-season is here and the club is very much alive. Several social events have been lined up by the Social Committee (see attached). A brief run on what happens week by week is as follows:
Monday - Rest day. Though you can pass and have one on your way home.
Tuesday - Fitness and Training. This can be done on the pitch or by the bar.
Wednesday - Come Wash your car at the club. Actually its a brilliant excuse to have a couple of pints at the club.
Thursday - Club Night. Same as Tuesday. Fitness and Training. This can be done on the pitch or by the bar.
Friday - Members Night. The place to begin your weekend. Come with your own steaks too. Meat and Drinks in a friendly environment. Makes you think twice about going anywhere else.
Saturday - After all your morning errands and family commitments, come watch the international rugby games at the club as you clear one hangover and embark on the next. All AUSTRALIA, Old Blacks, Springboks, French Frogs, British (England, Scotland, Wales, London Harlequins) and even Irish (yes Irish)! fans are welcome. Come with some meat too!
Sunday - Touch Rugby (For Real) on the pitch. Bring the family and friends and get healthy by sweating out all the impurities of the past 6 days and prepare yourself for the next week. This is the Christmas season remember. (Now very popular as last Sunday had a very healthy crowd at the club). Touch rugby commences at 12 midday and you can leave anytime after 6pm.
Bring in new members as well and let them know Quins is the place to be.
One for the week
A man went to the doctor one day and said:
"I've just been playing Rugby and when I got back I found that when I touched my legs, my arms, my head, my tummy and everywhere else, it really hurt."
So the doctor said: "You've broken your finger."
