Fireworks are expected as the Brookside Secondary Schools National Term One Games enter the knockout stage today at Nairobi School and State House Girls. Girls national basketball champions Kaya Tiwi of Coast will lock horns with Nairobi’s Buru Buru in what is promising to be a thrilling clash.

Tiwi will be out to exert their dominance over Buru Buru, who they beat 53-25 in last year’s national final to win their maiden gong. Tiwi coach Philip Onyango said both sides are good but the team that will be mentally strong will carry the day. “It will be a very tough match because Buru Buru are an equally good side but we are prepared and ready for the battle,” Onyango said.
