Reigning national and East Africa boys’ hockey champions St Anthony’s Kitale are gearing up for battle as they seek to win their third trophy in a row and sixth overall.

They will put their title on the line when this year’s Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) Brookside National Term One games begin on Tuesday at Shimo La Tewa School and Shanzu Teachers Training College, Mombasa. St Anthony’s coach Kelvin Lugalia said that with more schools improving they have a tough task ahead of them and they have to be at their best to defend their title.
