Likoni TVC raring to go ahead of KATTI national games

The Likoni Technical and Vocational College (TVC) rugby team has arrived safe and sound at the Siaya Institute of Technology, ready to compete in the KATTI Nationals Ball Games.

The team enters the tournament as the reigning Coast Region Champions, having claimed an impressive victory over rivals Kenya Coast National Polytechnic with a score of 17-0 and Taita Taveta National Polytechnic with a decisive 59-0 score, respectively.

These victories secured their place at the nationals, and their formidable performance makes them a team to watch.

This year, the Likoni TVC rugby team is placed in Pool A, where they will compete against tough opponents including Kabete National Polytechnic, Nyeri National Polytechnic, Kisii National Polytechnic, and Kitale National Polytechnic.

Coach and Trainer Mtawa Titus Ceaser expressed his optimism about the team’s journey:

"We have come here to compete and win games.

“This is our second time reaching the nationals, and our target is to reach the finals. The boys are up and ready for the challenge, and we believe we will achieve this with practice and prayers from Likoni."

Coach Mtawa says that the team’s dedication and preparation reflect the resilience and fighting spirit of Likoni TVC, and they are set to make the region proud and demonstrate their skills on the national stage.

"We participated in the first edition two years ago, whereby Eldoret National Polytechnic eliminated us in a pulsating semi-final.

“But this time round, we are back after learning our lessons, and we carry the pride of our region."
