Western Region champions Shanderema Secondary School is confident of kicking off their Federation of East Africa Secondary Schools Sports Association (FEASSSA) games on the front foot as they face off against Amus College School from 11 am Kenyan time.
Shanderema finished third during their debut at the Kenya Secondary School Sports Association (KSSSA) national games played in Kakamega last week.
The Kevin Asuba-coached outfit thrashed Agoro Sare High School 5-1 in the third-place playoffs and the tactician believes they can pick from where they left against the Ugandans.
Asuba who has beaten giants this year including Kakamega County champions Musingu High School and former national champions Kakamega High School said they don't fear anyone as they are focused on playing better than they have played in their last game.
"We are ready for the finals. The boys had a wonderful taste of high-intensity football at the nationals and they are ready to showcase their talents once again in Rwanda.
