St. Anthony’s Boys National School Kitale have been crowned Kiminini Sub-County football champions after a commanding 3-0 victory over Friends School Kabuyefwe, sealing their place in next week’s county championships.
The match, played in front of a packed crowd, saw the reigning giants dominate the game from start to finish, displaying clinical precision in attack and a solid defence. The win continues St. Anthony’s strong reputation in school football circles and reaffirms their status as favourites ahead of the Trans Nzoia County games.
Despite the heavy loss, Friends School Kabuyefwe had cause to celebrate, as the runners-up position was enough to earn them a spot in the upcoming county championship. The qualification marks a historic return for Kabuyefwe, whose last county appearance was 14 years ago. Their journey has reignited school spirit and optimism among students and alumni alike.
Elsewhere in Cherangany Sub-County, Bwake Boys stunned Kipkeikei Boys in a tightly contested final, booking their place in the county tournament for the first time in almost 12 years. Bwake’s resurgence comes on the back of a well-organised campaign this season, with their tactical discipline and teamwork winning admiration across the board.
In Kwanza Sub-County, Goseta Boys delivered a dominant 3-0 win over Kolongolongo Secondary School to claim the sub-county title. While Kolongolongo fell short on the pitch, they will still play a crucial role in the upcoming county event as the official hosts. Their facilities are set to provide the stage for what promises to be an intense and action-packed showdown.
Saboti Sub-County will be represented by St. Joseph’s Boys Kitale, who emerged as champions following a string of impressive performances. They will be joined by Bishop Crowley, another strong contender from the region.
With the county championship scheduled for Friday 20th and Saturday 21st, excitement is building among students, teachers, and fans alike. The tournament will bring together the best school teams in Trans Nzoia County in a celebration of youth talent, discipline, and regional pride.
All eyes will be on perennial powerhouses such as St. Anthony’s and Goseta Boys, but the recent rise of underdogs like Bwake Boys and Kabuyefwe adds an element of unpredictability to the championship.
As the countdown begins, schools are fine-tuning their squads, sharpening tactics, and preparing for what many expect to be one of the most competitive county finals in recent years.
