The Suba Lakers had a busy weekend taking 35 players to Kisumu and Homa Bay to compete in three different tournaments. Out of the three tournaments, the Lakers won two trophies and each of the 35 girls got a chance to play and compete against some of the top talent in the country.

The Senior team competed in the Galactico Nationwide Tournament against teams from Nakuru, Nairobi, Kisumu, Busia and the Coast. In the first match, they scored in the first ten seconds of the game and triumphed with a 9 to 0 score, pumping in goals from all over the field. In the second match they faced a tough Galactico team that ended up winning the entire tournament. The Lakers played hard and didn’t concede a goal until the final ten minutes of play and ended up losing 2 to 0. When we played that same team last year, we lost 8 to 0. On the second day of the tournament half of the team left for another tournament and the ones who remained behind did their best, but couldn’t manage to breakthrough against Nakuru and then against Galactico again, this time in the quarterfinals.
