The fierce rivalry witnessed during the 2026 Trans Nzoia county secondary school games has now shifted from the playing field to social media, with Friends Bwake Boys High School, Goseta Superstars’ Academy and St. Joseph’s Boys High School(JOBO) exchanging playful but pointed remarks online following their respective exits from the competition.
The online banter began after Friends Bwake Boys High School published a post inviting Goseta Superstars’ Academy and St Joseph Boys popularly known as The Brown Saints (JOBO) for a “Chemistry and Biology contest,” humorously asking them to “bring your first 20 football players” because “football has become difficult.”
The post quickly attracted hundreds of reactions and comments.
Goseta Superstars’ Academy responded in the comments, jokingly asking whether the Bwake players were capable of handling even a discussion contest.
Shortly afterwards, The Brown Saints (JOBO) joined the exchange with a sarcastic response, saying they would bring their players to “teach chemistry” rather than compete, adding that they were beyond such contests and advising Bwake to “stay guided.”

The schools have built strong sporting rivalries over the years, making the online exchanges entertaining for students and sports fans across the county.
Despite the spirited social media banter, the posts were widely viewed as friendly sporting rivalry, with many supporters reacting with laughter and encouraging the schools to continue nurturing talent while maintaining mutual respect.
The Trans Nzoia county games once again demonstrated that rivalries do not always end with the final whistle, as school pride continues to fuel lively conversations long after the competitions conclude.
