Nyamira North Subcounty will stage its secondary school sports competitions next week following the qualification of St. Francis Gekendo and Nyakwerema Secondary Schools from the Ekerenyo Zone soccer tournament.
The two schools secured their places after impressive performances in the highly competitive zonal championships, which attracted several secondary schools from across the zone. St. Francis Gekendo and Nyakwerema demonstrated strong teamwork and determination throughout the tournament.
Other schools that participated included Kiabonyoru, Nyagokiani, and Nyamiranga secondary schools. However, some teams failed to progress after some of their players were not captured in the Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) portal, affecting their eligibility for the matches.
