National football finalists Itigo edged out Nyakach 6-5 in post-match penalties to take bronze as curtains came down on the 2019 Federation of East Africa Secondary Schools Sports Association games in Arusha.

It was Kenya’s only football medal as Dagoretti High who battled Uganda’s Jinja Secondary School lost 3-4 in boys’ play-offs to settle for fourth place. By denying Nyakach a podium finish, Itigo avenged their 0-2 loss in the national finals.
