Last Male Standing Open

In June 2017, Last Man Stands will proudly team up once again with Ol Pejeta Conservancy, The Australian High Commission (Kenya), The East Africa Cricket & Education Foundation and The British Army to host the Last Male Standing Rhino Cup on the savannah plains of Kenya. 

The tournament was held to help raise awareness of the plight of Sudan, the last male Northern White Rhino left alive today, who lives at Ol Pejeta. With games being staged in middle of an East African game reserve together with an abundance of wildlife walking past, the Open is truly one of the world's most unique cricket events.

2016 LAST MALE STANDING TOURNAMENT REVIEW

The weekend began and ended at the village of Il Polei, where the East Africa Cricket & Education Foundation (EACF) helped to coach over 200 Maasai children on the Friday and the Monday. 

Over the weekend, the serious cricket started as six teams competed in a LMS tournament at one of the most beautiful locations in world cricket, in the middle of the Ol Pejeta conservancy, as part of the second Last Male Standing Rhino Shield. A global Last Man Stands side featuring players from South Africa, Australia and England competed strongly along with Kenya Kongonis (from Nairobi). The Honey Badgers (also from Nairobi) won many friends at the tournament, while the Maasai Warriors won their first piece of 'silverware' in the Wooden Spoon final.

However, it was left to the talented Obuya Cricket Academy (led by Kenya international David Obuya) to take out the main title with victory over The East Africa Cricket & Education Foundation in the final. Well played the Obuya Academy who retained the trophy that they first won in 2015!
