It will be another interesting afternoon as all Kenya internationals who featured in the 10-Goal-Kenya International Championships converge in Gilgil for the Lord Cranworth Cup at Manyatta Polo Club today.

Big guns Archie Voorspuy (3.5), Craig Millar (3.5), William Crowe(3), Jammie Murray (4.5), Raphael Nzomo(2.5) and Richie Stonewigg lead their respective sides in the fight for top honours in the Lord Cranworth Cup.

Voorspuy, who plays alongside his wife Izzy (Voorspuy), Geoff Morley and Fred Kambo are in the Tatua Demand side.

Nzomo (Raphael) together with Hansi Bruins, Omwakwe Arunga and Allstair James are in handicap 7 Blowpast team.

The high handicap 8 Ecospray side led by Stonewigg (Richie) Henry Limb, Stutti Millar and Jonathan Stichbury will start all their matches at the disadvantage of half fraction of a goal from their high handicap compared to their opponents.

Millar (Craig) and Crowe (William) and Murray (Jammie) lead EAPI, Jaguar Petroleum and Smartcrop respectively.
