On Thursday, August 15, 2019, a highly-anticipated clash between defending women's volleyball champions Uasin Gishu County and Nairobi in the Kenya Inter-Counties Sports and Cultural Association (Kicosca) Games turned into an anti-climax due to heavy rains.
The men's final between defending champions Uasin Gishu and Kiambu was also called off due to the rains, as was the women's basketball match between defending champions Nairobi and Kisumu.
Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago, a member of the county's men's team, expressed confidence in his team's ability to deliver the trophy, despite the weather conditions.
"It is an anti-climax, but we have no control over the weather. I am confident that my team will deliver on this one. For both the men's and women's teams, we are up to task and will deliver the trophy back to back for the third time," Mandago said.
Other matches that were affected by the rains included the men's basketball final, which saw Nakuru beat Bungoma 49-42, and the women's basketball final, which was rescheduled for Friday.
