Rugby League In Kenya
Rugby League in Kenya is a growing spectator and participatory sport. History During the 1990s attempts were made to introduce the sport of rugby league to Kenya. The catalyst for the attempt to introduce rugby league into Kenya came from Eddie Rombo, a former Kenyan rugby union player, who went on to play rugby league with British side Leeds Rhinos. After retiring from the sport, Rombo announced his intention to return to his native land and establish rugby league. In 2000, he did so, with the backing of a Kenyan businessman named Eric Murungi. Teams were formed, coaching sessions undertaken and a website set up. However the efforts came to nought, and no rugby league game was ever played. In 2013, after seeing many of Kenya's youth missing the opportunity to participate in sport, Kenyan Caroline Jamieson along with husband Glenn Jamieson set up programs aimed at developing youth rugby league in Kenya, concentrating on the least fortunate.

It is one of the two codes of rugby football, the other being rugby union. It originated in 1895 in Huddersfield, Yorkshire as the result of a split from the Rugby Football Union over the issue of payments to players.Tony Collins, ''Rugby League in Twentieth Century Britain'' (2006), p.3 The rules of the game governed by the new Northern Rugby Football Union progressively changed from those of the RFU with the specific aim of producing a faster and more entertaining game to appeal to spectators, on whose income the new organisation and its members depended. Due to its high-velocity contact, cardio-based endurance and minimal use of body protection, rugby league i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
