Last weekend all of our Suba Laker Secondary Girls were in
action playing for their respective schools in various zonal and district
competitions throughout the Province. We
were able to go and watch several of them play on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Moi Girls Secondary School in Sindo won their two
preliminary matches 4-0 and 2-0. It
seems like those were warm-up games for them because they kicked it into
another gear winning the semifinal 5-0 and the finals 7-0. Playing on the left wing Irine Achieng scored
7 goals in the 4 matches and Sharon Bizmark, playing on the right wing and as a
striker, scored 5 goals. Together they
helped Sindo win their zonal and qualify for the regional tournament in two
weeks.
Jera Mixed Secondary School were able to win their District
Championship Game 3-0 over former powerhouse Sega Girls Secondary School. It was a convincing win against a quality
team. 1st Year students
Raysha Jedida, Alicent Awuor and Leah Ongojo made solid contributions to help
their school qualify for regionals in two weeks.
Kobala Mixed Secondary school also won their district on
Sunday as 1st Year student, Caren Akeyo, scored the first goal in
the opening minutes and the goals kept on coming after that with 6 by the
halftime whistle. It ended in a 10-0
drubbing. In the semifinals they only
won 3-0, but they showed their true potential in the finals. Their impressive wins gave them a ticket to
the Regional Finals next week.
Gekomoni also won their district over the weekend with a 7-0
victory. Belinda Awuor and Judith Mayor
played solidly in the field and Eliva Awuor didn’t allow any balls past her in
the goal. Gekomoni has had very strong
boys teams over the past couple of years, winning the province and even
reaching the national finals, but this year they are trying to also put a
strong emphasis on the girls and see if they can compete with Kobala and
Jera.
In Homa Bay, we had five of our players representing Bishop
Okullu Magare Girls and two more playing for Asumbi Girls High School. Asumbi had won the district 10 times out of
the last 13 years so Magare was trying to stake their claim to girls football
supremacy in the district. Both teams
were equally matched and they competed hard against each other. Midway through the second half Magare broke
through with a good finish inside the box from Suba Laker Damarice Awino. They held on for a 1-0 victory with the 1st
year student as the conquering hero. One
interesting part of the game was the captain for Magare was Mary Lucy Adhiambo
(Suba Lakers and former CGA student) while the captain for Asumbi was Mary Lucy’s
younger sister Linet (also Suba Lakers and former CGA student). The two sisters met the referees before the
match and competed hard for bragging rights in the family, but this time around
the older sister prevailed, leaving the younger one waiting for next year. Magare is proceeding to the Regional Finals
in two weeks.
Sindo, Jera, Kobala, Gekomoni and Magare are all competing
in the Regional Finals over the next two weeks for the chance to play in the
Provencal Tournament in July. All of
them are heavy favorites to win their regions and book their tickets to face
off with the best teams in the Province.
We hope to see all of them there!
