History was made yesterday as the Kakamega North Sub-County boys’ football final between Lugusi Boys and Shamberere Secondary recorded the highest attendance of any sub-county school match in the 2025 KSSSA games across the country.
Held at Malava Boys High School grounds, the eagerly awaited clash ended in a goalless draw during regular time. However, the match couldn’t proceed to extra time or penalties after thousands of passionate fans flooded the pitch, making it impossible for the referees to continue. The game was subsequently postponed to Monday, June 9.
