Murhanda
Boys and their ladies’ team, Murhanda Girls, are odds-on favorites to lift the
COPA Coca-Cola Western provincial finals title as the fight for national championships
heads to the western region on Sunday at Kakamega High School.
The
duo who topped the standings during the Western branch group stage matches are
in a fine run of form after both recorded victories in their previous two
assignments and will be aiming at the top price when the provincial finals
enter its penultimate leg.
The
first match will pit Murhanda Boys against their Western branch rivals Bulimbo
Academy before Maraka and Kaptama Boys square it off in a Northwestern derby.
The latter will take on Murhanda in the third fixture as Maraka aim for an
upset against Bulimbo.
In
the girls’ fixtures, bookmakers’ favorites Murhanda Ladies will clash against
group rivals Ibinda in the first fixture. The last encounter between the two
teams ended in a 0-0 stalemate. Nzoia Girls will take on branch nemesis Amukura
Girls before the latter clashes with Ibinda Ladies and the former meet
Murhanda.
The
matches will be played in a round-robin format with the team garnering the most
number of points in both the boys’ and ladies’ categories qualifying for the
Nairobi national finals.
Coast,
Rift Valley, Eastern, Central and Nairobi have all produced their teams for the
national finals. The last leg of the provincials will be played next weekend in
Nyanza region.
This
year’s winners will not only get a cash price of Kshs. 500,000 but will also
travel to South Africa for an international boot camp where they will get
firsthand training from coaches from Chelsea FC foundation coaches.
And That's thesteifmastertake!!
