Mbooni Boys are eyeing a semi-final slot in handball as they seek to make their debut at the East Africa Secondary School games that begin in Arusha, Tanzania on Friday.

This is despite being in a tough Group A that has defending champions Adegi, last year’s semi-finalists College Gisenyi of Rwanda, Uganda’s St Lucia and homeboys Kilombero Secondary School.
