Shinyalu MP Fred Ikana yesterday led the constituents in celebrating the victory of Shanderema Boys Secondary in the Western regional schools’ ball-games soccer finals yesterday evening.
Shanderema trounced their arch-rivals Musingu Boys 3-0 to clinch the regional title in a mouth-watering match staged at the Bukhungu Stadium.
It was sweet revenge for the Eagles who had lost 2-1 to the Scorpions in the county finals on Saturday, July 8.
The two teams were then picked to represent Kakamega County in the regional competitions that were held between Wednesday and Saturday.
Shanderema’s Coach Kevin Asuba hailed his charges who he said put on a brave battle that saw them emerge victorious.
“It was a tough match but my soldiers remained focused and professional. That is why they emerged victorious,” he said.
Ikana, who has been the force behind the team, termed the victory historic and promised to continue supporting them as they prepare for the nationals slated for Kakamega.
“Shanderema has done us proud and I assure them of my continued total commitment to support them. I am confident that they will bring the national title home,” he added.
He promised to boost the team financially when he meets them before the nationals.
Butere and Madira Girls also qualified to represent the region in the girls’ soccer competitions at the national level.
