GOA crushed as roll ball league resumes after two-month break

The national roll ball league resumed this weekend after a two-month break with former champions Glory Outreach Assembly (GOA) suffering a 10-1 humbling at the hands of Phoenix in the men’s division.

The result at the Gretsa University in Thika, Kiambu County marked the fourth league defeat for GOA with Phoenix taking a sixth win in emphatic fashion.

James Mwangi was in fine form when he scored five times while Solomon Kinunthia scored twice and Hemilton Gicheru got a hat trick. Albert Omwaro scored the consolation goal for GOA.

"We started well even though my team fell on the way and lost the match 10-1. This is due to us taking a long break but we will be fine after the next two or three games." said Musa Kaguli GOA team manager.

In another men’s league result Wolves won against hosts Gretsa 7-3 as Tigers beat St Pauls University 3-2.

In the ladies league matches Gretsa won 1-0 against Wolves in a weekend that witnessed six matches in the 12 round of the league that is expected to end in July 2023.

"Our federation always works hard to help develop this game because now we have almost ten years since this game was started here in Kenya. This has really helped us grow the game,” the national roll ball team head coach Jared Tobias said.
