St Mary’s School Yala kicked off the Nyanza Region Secondary Term two games on the front foot on Thursday after seeing off Agai High School 2-0 in Group B’s high stakes football match played at Moi Stadium.
The Siaya County champions are eying a maiden appearance at the nationals set for Kakamega next month and needed to win before facing Gekendo and Rapogi in their final matches.
Herman Ochieng and Javan Omondi struck in the first half for the Black Saints who now sit in good position to make the semis as they need a win in their last two matches to book a spot in the last four
At the same stadium, Kisumu County football girls’ champions Nyakach Girls begun their journey to recapture their lost Nyanza Region title on the front foot after thrashing Jera Girls 4-0.
Nyakach lost 2-1 to Alara Girls from Homa Bay in last year’s Nyanza finals played in Kisii and with Alara out of this year’s games, the throne remains vacant for the taking.
