Over the weekend the Suba Laker Boys competed in the Omit Pile tournament on Rusinga Island. It was an under 17 year old tournament for local teams. The boys sailed through the preliminaries with 2 wins and a draw. They dominated their semifinal game winning 2-0. The finals on Saturday afternoon were hotly contested playing against the home team from Rusinga. The locals didn't want the trophy to leave the island, but the Suba Lakers wanted to take the trophy back across the causeway to Mbita.
The Lakers scored two goals in the first half, but both were taken away by the referee. The first one was because of off-sides and the second one because of a push. In the second half the Rusinga team gained momentum a
