School Games: Butere Girls, Wiyeta cruise to football final

Butere Girls are through to the final of school games after stunning Madira Soccer Assassins 1-0 Friday morning in the ongoing national championships at Bukhungu Stadium.

Diana Anyango's first half goal was enough to help the Red Commandoes book a final slot for the first time since 2014 when they reigned supreme in their home turf.

Joy Angela Valencia showed her class - cutting down on the left, dribbling past Madira's centre backs before releasing a cut back for Anyango to slot in the winner 

The win means Butere have now completed a double against the Overall Division One Champions after crushing them at the regional championships on the same score line.

Fatigue looked to have crippled in Nixon Muleri's charges as they struggled against the Red Commandoes' tempo.

Butere's head coach Howard Shikanga hailed his charges for an impressive shift while noting that they were going all out for the title.

"I am happy for the win, we gave our best and my girls are happy because they are finally going Rwanda. We showed why we have reached this stage."

"We have played Wiyeta before, we know their game and we are going for the title," said Shikanga.

Elsewhere ten times National Champions Wiyeta beat their arch rivals Dagoretti Mixed 3-1 on post match penalties to sail through to their ninth successive final.

The thrilling clash saw Wiyeta have the last laugh after a 2-2 draw after the extra time.

The semi-final was a repeat of last year's final where The Bees won by the same margin after a 1-1 draw in the normal time.

Head coach Edgar Manyara praised his charges for their orgasmic performance  to book a place to Rwanda.

"We are happy for the win, my girls showed their fighting spirit after going down earlier on. It was a tough match but we cooled down our nerves to take it home."

"We will be going for our 11th title tomorrow and we will give it all," noted Manyara.

The final showdown will be staged on Saturday at Bukhungu Stadium.
