EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie and athleticism among the members of Nondescripts Rugby Club in Nairobi, Kenya, during the 1930s. The image, taken around 1931 or 1932, depicts a group of white men dressed in rugby uniforms, gathered around their team president, Dr. N.P. Jewell. The team, which was one of the oldest and most prestigious rugby clubs in East Africa during that era, is shown with a rugby ball at their feet, ready for their next match. Nondescripts Rugby Club was a popular social and recreational hub for the European community in Nairobi, attracting both expatriates and locals. The team's name was derived from the fact that its members came from a diverse range of backgrounds, including businessmen, civil servants, and military personnel. The club's location in the heart of Nairobi, near the city's racecourse, made it easily accessible to members and spectators alike. Rugby was a beloved sport in Kenya during the 1930s, and Nondescripts Rugby Club was at the forefront of the rugby scene in East Africa. The team's success on the field was a source of pride for its members and the European community in Nairobi. The photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of rugby in Kenya and the important role that sports played in the social and cultural fabric of colonial-era East Africa.
