“A natural, with a homogenized character in both defence and attack. He has extremely quick feet and his swift analysis of defences when he plays at the scrumhalf position has made us win matches in which victory was impossible.”
Eddi never thought he would hold the odd shaped ball and with it wow coaches and leave spectators in awe with his killer side step and natural knack for the try line until his elder brothers Brian Otieno, Ken Onyango and Allan Odhiambo introduced him to the academy in 2011.
Sam, Eddi’s coach at the Standard Chartered Impala Academy describes him as a natural, with a homogenized character in both defence and attack. He has extremely quick feet and his swift analysis of defences when he plays at the scrumhalf position has made us win matches in which victory was impossible.
The 9 year old scrumhalf possesses a unique ability of striking a balance between academics and sports as he emerged position 7 out of 25 in his class at Little Prince Primary School- Kibera; perhaps a worthy reason behind his parents’ nod at allowing him play the sport.
Like any other player, the sanguine Eddi Ouma has an international icon on his wallpaper of idols; he admires Cecil Afrika the blitz bokke flyhalf. He also savours the style of play exhibited by Samoa and Fiji, both powerhouses in the sevens version of the game.
