Shanderema Secondary School, popularly known as the Eagles, are the new Western Region Secondary School champions for boys’ soccer after defeating Musingu High, the Scorpions, in a thrilling clash at a packed Bukhungu Stadium.
The Eagles silenced the four-time national champions with a resounding 3-0 victory in the finals, attended by football fanatics across Western Kenya, among them Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa.
Shanderema’s success journey included edging Kibabii Boys’ 1-0 as Musingu beat Lukhuna Secondary 4-0 in Friday’s semis at the Kakamega Approved Secondary School.
“We thank God for helping us win this tough match. After they beat us in the County Games, we went back to the drawing board and rectified our mistakes, and that has paid off today,” Shanderema Assistant Coach Gilbert Omollo said.
Musingu coach Brendan Mwinamo accepted the results and congratulated their opponents for their amazing feat.
“That’s the nature of sports; you win some and lose some. I wish Shanderema success in their games. They have my blessings,” Mwinamo said.
