St Anthony’s Boys, Kitale, and Dagoreti booked tickets to this year’s Secondary Schools, KSSSA, Soccer Under 20 national games’ final in style after winning their respective semis matches. This also means that both St Anthony’s and Dagoreti will represent Kenya at this year’s East Africa games. First to qualify was Dagoreti under the auspices of the current Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association, KSSSA, chair and principal Dagoreti Mr Peter Orero. dagoreti thumped 2018 finalists Olbolsat 3-1 in an entertaining semi final played at Moi Stadium, Kisumu, on Friday 2nd August, 2019. After playing to a barren draw in regulation and added time, St Anthony’s were lucky to defeat hard battling Ebwali via spot kicks. Newbies Ebwali representing the Western region were unlucky missing the sixth penalty to hand St Anthony’s 6-5 victory at the spot kicks. Dagoreti now will take on St Anthony in a tough final slated for Saturday 3rd August, 2019.
Elsewhere, Nyanza’s Mogonga stormed the boys’ volleyball final after overcoming stiff opposition from Namwela to win the semi by 3-1 sets. Mogonga will now battle it out for the National trophy with Lelmokwo who dumped Lang’ata out of the championship via a 3-0 sets win. Both Mogonga and Lelmokwo will also represent Kenya at the FEASSSA games in Arusha, Tanzania. But it is Nyakach who have reaped big from the term 2 games since they will present two teams in Arusha. Nyakach has both the Soccer under 20 and netball teams at tomorrow’s finals.
