On July 31st, 2019, the Kenya Secondary Schools Association Term Two national ball games took place in Kisumu County, where Nyakach Girls secured a spot in the finals.
With a 2-0 win over Archbishop Njenga, the Nyanza region champions secured their maiden chance of winning the national title and representing the country at the East African games in Arusha.
Leading the charge was Mercy Akoth, who scored two crucial goals for Nyakach.
The team will now face Rift Valley champions Itigo Girls, who defeated Njabini 4-0 in the second half, courtesy of Daisy Cherop, Martha Amunyolete, and Vicky Korir's double.
Chrispin Odindo, the Nyakach Girls head coach, congratulated the team and urged them to remain focused ahead of the finals, which will be a repeat of their pool A clash.
Odindo warned his team to be clinical and precise during the finals if they are to be crowned the new champions, saying, 'Itigo is a strong team. They are aggressive from defense to their attack. We have to play a clinical game where we have to utilize our chances and score early.'
Meanwhile, in the under 16 show, Jamila Amida's goal fired Wiyeta into the finals, where they will meet Maeni Girls who knocked out Njabini 2-0 courtesy of Noula Oseko's brace.
Additionally, Dagoreti Mixed continued their impressive run, posting four straight wins after thumping last year's finalists Olbolsat 3-1.
