Goseta Boys High School will be required to cover the cost of damages caused during the disruption of the Trans Nzoia County football final involving St Anthony’s Boys Kitale and St Joseph’s Boys Kitale at Transcend Stadium.
The decision was reached after sports officials reviewed the circumstances surrounding the abandonment of the highly anticipated match, which was marred by chaos and interruptions that prevented its completion.
In a further development, teachers alleged to have been involved in planning or facilitating the disruption have been referred to the Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) for possible disciplinary action.
Officials said the move is aimed at protecting the integrity of school sports and ensuring accountability for actions that interfere with fair competition.
Replay to Determine Champions
The abandoned final will still determine the county champions, with St Anthony’s Boys Kitale and St Joseph’s Boys Kitale set to face each other in a replay.
It is reported that the match will be played on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at 7:00 a.m. at Transcend Stadium.
Measures to Ensure Order
Sports administrators have emphasised that measures will be put in place to guarantee order and security when the final is eventually played.
Investigations into the incident are expected to continue, with further action possible against individuals found culpable.
