Menengai High School defeated Hillcrest 1-0 in boys’ football to romp into the finals of the Nakuru Sub County Secondary Schools Term Two B Games at Nakuru Boys High School yesterday.

Industrious John Mwot scored the all-important goal for Menengai in a tough match that saw both teams raid each other’s territory.  

Menengai were playing Spotlight in the finals last evening. 

On their part, Spotlight had seen off Afraha High 2-0 in the second semifinal match.

“It has been tough but we are determined to make it to the Naivasha Championships as we look forward to participate in the National Championships next month,” said Menengai head coach Peter Sechero in a post-match interview.
