While the spotlight often shines brightest on the Division One titans, the 2025 National Sevens Circuit has unearthed a rich vein of talent and grit from Division Two. From the explosive rise of Zetech Oaks to the tactical sharpness of Blak Blad and Homeboyz, the second-tier competition has been a story of ambition, hunger, and breakthrough.

Zetech Oaks have perhaps been the most consistent performers in Division Two, clinching titles at Driftwood and Dala Sevens, and finishing runners-up at Kababeri. Powered by the unstoppable Brian Ondego, who swept all individual awards in Dala : MVP, Top Try Scorer, and Top Point Scorer ; the Oaks are not just a team in form, but one built for longevity.

Blak Blad announced their arrival in style at the Prinsloo Sevens, going all the way to win the Division Two title. Their talisman Elvis Otete mirrored Ondego’s dominance with a clean sweep of MVP, top points, and top try scorer accolades ; marking them out as players with Division One potential.

Homeboyz Rugby added their name to the roll of honor at Embu Sevens, where they edged NYS Spades to clinch the Division Two crown. With Obed Aberi named Player of the Final and teammates stepping up in clutch moments, the win was a reminder that Homeboyz ,a once formidable Division One team ,could be on the comeback trail.

Other standout performers include NYS Spades, who finished runners-up in both Driftwood and Embu, and Kabete Stallions, who lifted the Division Two trophy at Christie Sevens.

With increased prize money Ksh. 50,000 awarded for each leg winner and scouts watching closely, Division Two is no longer just a proving ground. It’s a launchpad. Many of the circuit’s best performers, including the likes of Otete and Ondego, are showing they’re ready to mix it with the elite.
