Shining Stars

The CGA girls football players continued their winning ways today. Even though their games were shortened drastically by the referee because of time, they managed to earn two clean victories. Eleven CGA girls were representing the Mbita base at the Zonal tournament. In the first match Sharon Akinyi scored a classic goal when she got past the last defender and used her speed to race towards the goal and deliver a powerful shot. In the 2nd match the team dominated the action with our goalkeeper never even getting a chance to touch the ball. Sharon netted the 2nd goal after a beautiful cross by winger Belinda Awuor that she controlled perfectly and directed it in the goal. The fans gathered around the field at Kirindo Primary thoroughly enjoyed watching the style of play the girls displayed with deft passing and great teamwork.

It marks the end of a successful two week run with 10 straight victories at different levels and in different tournaments. Seven of the CGA girls were selected to move on to the Divisional level on Monday. It has been fun coaching this bunch of girls, as we move on to the different levels we compete against other members from the Suba Lakers Football Club. After defeating them, we join them with our group for the next level.

CGA players also have been very successful in netball, boys and girls volleyball and boys football, in addition to girls football.
