<p>Nyanza Region Basketball boys&#8217; defending champions, Ambira, kicked off their title defence by recording a 100 percent win in their opening two clashes today. Ambira defeated Kisii&#8217;s Nyanchwa 65- 59 in a hotly contested group A clash played at Homa Bay High school. It is Nyanchwa who led in the first quarter 19-12 only for them to fall in the second quarter by a 20-11 margin. Nyanchwa picked up from where they had left in the first quarter by recording a 15-14 lead in the third quarter. But, Ambira had other plans as they picked 19 points against Nyanchwa&#8217;s 14 in the fourth quarter to walk away with the bragging rights.</p>



<p>In the day&#8217;s other basketball boys&#8217; matches show stoppers, hosts Agoro Sare (last year&#8217;s finalists) were on fire humbling Nyamira&#8217;s Nyambaria 90-22 before seeing off Maranda 72-42.</p>



<p>In the girls&#8217; category, holders Barchando collected maximum points recording back to back wins against newbies Tuk Jowi and regulars Asumbi.</p>



<p>Other title holders who recorded impressive wins in their opening clashes were: Kanyawanga boys (Hand ball), Sega (Girls&#8217; Handball), Sinyolo (Girls&#8217; hockey) and Kisumu Day (Boys&#8217; Hockey).</p>



<p>The games enter day two tomorrow; Tuesday 18th March, 2019, with the remaining preliminary matches and knock outs. Finals will be played on Wednesday with winners booking tickets to the National games to be staged in Mombasa county from 6th April, 2019.</p>
