KSSSA: St. Antony’s Mayoyo aiming high as County Games kickoff

Rift Valley Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) football giants St. Antony Boys Kitale have set sights on both national and East African football titles.

Speaking to Citizen Digital, the team's head coach Peter Mayoyo confirmed that the boys are more lethal than than last year, and are aiming to clinch national and regional championships.

This comes after the school emerged champions of the Kiminini Sub-County and qualified for the Trans-Nzoia County games, which kick off on Thursday.

"In football it happens that one year you're down and the other you're more stronger. We are prepared and our goal is not only to win the county title but play and win at the highest level," Mayoyo noted.

However, the tactician also admitted that the teams they have faced since the zonal level have improved compared to last year, but his team was well-prepared and managed to overcome them.

"There has been a lot of improvement in many teams that we have faced this year right from the zonal level. We encountered real challenges along the way but we managed to sail through with 61 goals scored in total," he added.

The secondary school games at the Trans Nzoia County level officially begin today, with St. Antony set to launch their campaign against Bishop Glory in the opening match, which will be played at Miteitei Primary School.
