Injera Nominated For Top Kenyan Sports Award || Elgon Cup Dates Confirmed
Record breaking try scorer Collins Injera is among the nominees in the Sportsman of the Year category ahead of the Kenyan Sports Personality Of The Year Awards set for Friday 20 January in Nairobi.
Injera had a standout 2015/16 sevens season, first equaling then breaking Santiago Gomez Cora’s long standing 230 try scoring record on the Sevens World Series, finishing the season with an all-time high 235 tries.
He was also part of the Kenya Sevens squad that claimed a maiden series title when they posted a 30-7 win over Fiji to win the cup title at the Singapore Sevens. Other nominees include Olympic champion athletes Eliud Kipchoge, David Rudisha, Conseslus Kipruto and footballer Michael Olunga.
The two men’s national teams, Kenya Simbas and Kenya Sevens will duel it out with Kenyan Football Premier League champions Tusker, National Super League winners Nzoia United and reigning Kenya hockey club champions Butali Sugar Warriors.
