The stage is set for a historic encounter tomorrow morning as Musingu High School—famously known as The Scorpions—take on St. Joseph’s Boys Kitale, commonly referred to as JOBO, in the 2025 Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) National Term 2 Games Boys’ soccer final.
The match is held at the Mumias Sports Complex in Kakamega County, promising one of the most entertaining and challenging encounters in recent school football history.
Both teams come into this final unbeaten, having played with conviction and class.
Their meeting is more than just a final—it’s a heavyweight bout between two proud institutions whose footballing identities are built on resilience, flair, and tactical discipline.
Musingu punched their ticket to the final after edging out defending champions Highway Secondary School 3–2 in a thrilling semi-final encounter.
It was a revenge mission well executed, as the Scorpions avenged their heartbreaking penalty shootout loss in last year’s final.
Star forward Marvin Ashiundu led the charge with one goal, from open play.
Kevin Mukaramoja added another penalty equaliser to ensure Musingu kept the edge in a tense, see-sawing contest.
Fortune favoured Musingu when Highway gifted them an own goal in the 91st minute.
