The Kisii County school secured their victory by winning all six of their matches, amassing 18 points and a points difference of +104. They scored 145 points while conceding only 41. Notable victories included matches against Elerai, Bokoli Boys, Butula, Mbarara High School, Makerere College, and Busoga College. This win marks a significant turnaround for the school, who had suffered a 26-0 loss in the KSSSA national final just two weeks prior. In Tanzania, Cardinal Otunga defeated Butula 17-14 in the pool stages and narrowly beat Mbarara High 17-15 on the same day. The school had reached the FEASSSA tournament as Nyanza Region champions and KSSSA national runners-up, having claimed their first-ever regional title by defeating Friends School Anjego 24-0 in July. The race for second place remained open, with Butula and Bokoli Boys both capable of reaching a maximum of 15 points ahead of their decisive match.",
