Shujaa beat Morans 24-5 in an all-Kenyan final to retain the Safari Sevens title for the fifth consecutive year at Nyayo Stadium on Sunday.
In a tense first half, Morans dominated possession but failed to convert two clear chances, with Clinton Amukwachi and Brighton Omondi unable to ground the ball in the try box as the teams went into the break locked at 0-0.
Shujaa came alive after the restart, with Rayvone Ambale breaking the deadlock before converting his own try. Victor Odhiambo then finished off a sweeping move to extend the lead to 12-0.

They have delivered on what we asked them to do, their basic core roles, and brought intensity and physicality when required,” said Wambua. He also praised Shujaa’s response after a slow start on Friday, when they drew 21-21 with SportPesa Forwards Legends.
“It was a wake-up call, and the players responded brilliantly in subsequent matches,” he added, thanking fans for their strong support throughout the tournament.
