Our Stars

Saturday I travelled to Sindo with a friend to watch some of our former students from CGA competing in their zonal secondary school tournament. Three of our former players (from CGA and from the Suba Lakers) were playing for Moi Girls Secondary and they managed to win 6-0 with our girls scoring 4 of the goals. Irine Achieng was playing on the left wing and Mourine Akinyi on the right wing, crossing it back and forth to each other. They went on to win the zonal championship rather easily. Three former CGA boys were also in action competing with Bishop Mugendi Secondary School. They also "squeezed out" a 6-0 win in the match we saw with two of our boys (Evance Odhiambo and Lukas Okumu) anchoring the defense. Like the girls they went on toe take the zonal championship. Both teams will be coming to Mbita in a couple of weeks to play in the district championship.

They will be competing there against Mbita High School. We watched them win their zonal championships on Sunday afternoon in Mbita. It was bitter sweet as the losing school was captained by Festus Okeyoh, another former CGA student. He missed the final penalty kick that ultimately decided the championship. Denis Omondi, Caltex Omollo and Obadiah Ogega all played key roles for Mbita High School.

It was fun to spend the weekend watching "our stars" shine for their various high schools. At the same time I was also getting reports from various other tournaments around the province of the successes of other CGA students at Asumbi Girls and Magare Girls.
