Stage set for the 2019 Nyanza Region term one games as county championships come to a close

Preparations for this year’s Nyanza Region term one games are at an advanced stage. The six counties that make up the Nyanza Region have by now completed their championships and hence decided on the teams to represent them. This year’s Regional games are slated for the 16th to 20th March, 2019, at Homa Bay High school.

According to Nyanza Region’s Secondary Schools Sports Secretary, Mr Tom Thomas Odhiambo, the regional games have been rescheduled to start on 16th March, 2019, from the earlier communicated date. The rescheduling has been occasioned by the the clashing of the Regional calendar with that of Athletics Kenya; with Athletics Kenya holding their National Athletics trials between 20th and 23rd March, 2019.

This is the new Regional calendar for Term one games, according to Mr. Tom:

• Referees’ Clinic: 16th to 17th March, 2019
• Reporting date for students: 17th March, 2019
• Action Dates: 18th to 20th March, 2019
• Athletics: 18th and 19th March, 2019
• Swimming: 16th March, 2019

Boys’ basketball defending champion, Ambira from Siaya County, booked their regional ticket today after overcoming Maranda at a pulsating final; but both Ambira and Maranda qualified courtesy of Siaya being the defending champ. Also booking the regional ticket is Barchando; the girls’ basketball title holders despite their loss to Ng’iya in today’s final.

AGORO SARE SCOOPS ‘EVERYTHING’ IN HOMA BAY COUNTY

In Homa Bay County, Agoro Sare Boys were on fire picking 3 titles in Hockey, Basketball and Rugby 7’s. Agoro will be presenting a total of 4 teams at this year’s Regional games. Apart from hockey, basketball and Rugby 7’s Agoro will present another team in handball. The Homa Bay county games came to a close today at Homa Bay School with all finalists picking regional tickets; since Homa Bay will be hosting the Term one Regional games this year.

In the neighbouring Kisii county, defending basketball champs Nyanchwa boys had to keep their cool in order to overcome bitter rivals Kisii High. It is Kisii High who led for the better part of the high octane match played at Tendere; only for Nyanchwa to turn the tables and clinch victory in the last quarter. In Nyamira county, Nyambaria boys (playing at home) reclaimed the basketball title at the games that ended yesterday and will be joined by Sironga girls.

This year’s term one games will see some slight changes after the Education Ministry scrapped Heptathlon and Decathlon from the Secondary schools games. The changes also saw amalgamation of Rugby 7’s and 15’s that will now be played concurrently in term one.

Here is a roundup of all the County winners; across the region:
