kisumu rfc was revived in late 1990 by rugby enthusiasts led by mike omondi, bella maguys, gordon raila, peter openda, jim owino, dennis otti, joseph owino, eric ogot, sammy ogot, susan nyaribo, bob bengo, paul okong’o, nasser midamba, trevor mugwanga, john mark magana, oyunga pala, felix okech and issa mohamed issa amongst others. after the initial positive response to training, jimmy owino was appointed club coach. his initial task was to build a team with more commitment and solidarity, and to weed out the complacent ‘feel good attitude’ that had led to the dissipation of the original kisumu rfc.
