Champions Sinyolo Girls and St Anthony’s Kitale will lead Kenya’s hockey onslaught at this year’s Brookside East Africa Secondary school games.

Sinyolo will lead former regional winners Kerugoya and newcomers Tigoi as they seek to ensure the girls crown remains home. In the boys’ contest, five-time East Africa champions St Anthony’s will be joined by former regional and current national champions Friends School Kamusinga and debutants Upper Hill on a mission to extend Kenya’s hockey dominance.
