In Kenya, the long school holiday falls during the last couple of weeks in November and continues through the entire month of December. This provides the club with a lot of time to work with the girls, especially the ones that are usually away boarding at their various secondary schools. This time gives the girls positive activities to keep them occupied, catch up with old friends, stay in shape, and continue developing their soccer skills. We also try to utilize this time to teach the girls some life skills and help them grow in other ways.
This past week, after the club had some excellent training sessions with the girls, they traveled to Nyamira (about 3 hours from Mbita) for a high profile friendly match. Their competition was with a team that used to play in the Kenya Women’s Premier League, the Sotik Queens.
The Suba Lakers thrashed the Queens 5-0.
It was a match to behold. The Lady of the match was Dorothy Adhiambo. The soon to be 4th year secondary school girl from Mfangano Island scored twice in the first half to give the Lakers an insurmountable lead. Other goal scorers on the day were Alicent, Emily and Belinda who moved up from her defensive position to play the right forward position. Primary school 8th Grader Lencer Adoyo was brilliant in the defense.

Everything went well and the girls went home very happy to celebrate Christmas with their families. We thank God for his blessings throughout this year!
