St Joseph Boys and Wiyeta Girls thrash rivals as Rift Valley games begin in style

With energy and skill, a Wiyeta Girls player commands the field.

Defending boys’ football champions St Joseph Boys, Kitale, launched their Rift Valley secondary school games campaign in dominant style with back-to-back wins on the opening day of the regional championships being held at Hill School, Eldoret, in Uasin Gishu County yesterday.

St Joseph Boys from Trans Nzoia County began their title defence with a resounding 4-0 victory over Tenges High School from Baringo County.

Star forward Instin Simiyu was in fine form, scoring all four goals and earning the man of the match title. His pace, positioning, and clinical finishing proved too much for the Tenges’ defence to handle.

In their second match, St Joseph continued their dominance, beating Kamito Boys Secondary School from West Pokot 3-0. Goals came from Lutta Mwalati, Rayse Ochieng, and, once again, Simiyu, who has quickly become the tournament’s standout player.

Their coach and games teacher, Austin Musumba, lauded the team’s discipline and sharpness, expressing confidence that they are on course to reclaim their national title.

In the girls’ football competition, former national champions Wiyeta Girls Secondary School were ruthless in their opening game, thrashing Christ the King Secondary School 13-0 in a one-sided encounter. The Trans Nzoia-based giants dominated from the first whistle, showcasing their attacking power and tactical superiority.
