Kenya's representatives to this year's Federation of East Africa Secondary Schools Sports Association (FEASSSA) games that begin on Saturday in Huye, Rwanda have their work cut out as they seek to reclaim the country's lost glory.

The Kenyan boys and girls will be looking to reclaim the overall title that they lost to Uganda in 2019 when Tanzania hosted the regional showpiece in Arusha. Two years of inactivity due the Covid-19 pandemic would see them play second fiddle to Uganda once again when the games resumed last year.
