In addition, both nations remain on the qualifying road to the 2025 Rugby League World Cup.
Ghana were held 6-6 in the opening period by the Kenyans, who are playing in their first tournament, but two tries each from Emmanuel Acheampang and Chris Da Gama – who also kicked three goals – saw the Leopards home, 26-6. Opposite number John Mbai said: “We gave a good account of ourselves in the first half, but put ourselves under unnecessary pressure in the second. It’s a learning curve, we need to get better at playing out our sets of six and not getting impatient, but being our first experience of a tournament like this, we competed well and it’s a good place to start.”
