Teams that won the 2018, National term one games will have to work through the qualification stages at lower levels if they have intentions of defending their national titles. This is due to the fact that KSSSA rules do not give tickets to defending champions to grace the national games directly. Last year’s games were staged at Kangaru school, Embu county- Eastern Region.
