Mouthwatering clashes are lined up on the opening day. In boys’ football, Highway Secondary will start their title defence against Rift Valley giants St Joseph’s Kitale, while Nyanza’s Agai Mixed under coach and principal Gordon Akoko will make their debut against Garissa High School.

Agai, popularly known as the Green Cardinals, got a boost ahead of nationals with Interior PS Raymond Omollo donating boots, while Kisumu County gave the team uniforms, and Deputy Chief of Staff Eliud Owalo gave the team track suits.

Akoko, who previously led Thurgem to national glory, is keen to replicate the same with Agai. “This is my 9th time at nationals, and I’m confident the boys will give a good account of themselves,” said Akoko.

In the girls’ category, holders Butere Girls will open their campaign against Eastern region’s Dr. Charles, as Nyanza queens Kobala faces a tough task against Madira Girls from Western region.
