On June 14, 2021, the Fusilade teal received the Kinsmen Cup from Syngenta managing Director Fredrick Otieno at Northern Kenya Polo Club in Timau.

However, in a recent development, Handicap 0 Miranda Simpson has been dropped from the National Women Team heading to Zambia for the Lusaka International Championships from July 11-13.

According to Head Coach Jammie Murray, Simpson was dropped from the team due to her busy work commitments.

"She's too busy with her work commitments and therefore unable to travel to Zambia for this particular assignment," Murray told Standard Sports.

The remaining four players are Izzy Parsons, Tiva Gross, Aisha Gross, and Cheza Millar.

As they prepare for the international assignment, only two players will be able to feature in the 14-goal Connaught Cup Championships at Nairobi Polo Club this weekend before they jet out to Zambia.

These players are Parsons (Izzy) and Gross (Tiva), who qualify for the Connaught Cup by virtue of being high-handicapped players at handicap 2.5.
