NAROK Boys High School in Narok North District will host the Rift-Valley Secondary Schools Term Two “B” Games which get underway today.Narok Secondary School Sport Association (NSSSA) secretary Martin Kiseento said the three-day event will feature 14 counties. “The preparations are in top gear and all teams arrived yesterday,” said Kiseento, who is deputy principal of Olchorro Secondary School in Narok North District.

He said the event featured football, volleyball and racquet games. Besides Narok Boys ground, other venues are Maasai Girls, Ole Tipis Girls, St. Mary’s Primary School and Narok University. The referees’ clinic started on Tuesday at Narok Boys and ended yesterday ahead of today’s event.

Former East Africa boys football champions St. Anthony’s from Trans Nzoia are expected to bounce back and extend their dominance in the discipline. St. Antony’s, under the tutelage of head coach Cosmas Nabungolo, are heavily tipped to win the title for the umpteenth time and are pitted in Group “C” alongside rookies Kapenguria Boys of Pokot, Salvation Army Nowoitoron (Turkana) and Kericho’s Kipchimchim. Laikipia will lead Pool “A” where they face Mesuondo of Bomet County, Kapkures (Nandi) and Kabarnet Boys (Baringo). In Pool “B” hosts Narok High School are up against Laiser Hill (Kajiado), Anthony Karimi and Nakuru’s Afraha in what is viewed as the pool of death. The evergreen Kirisia of Samburu are in pool ‘D’ and their quest to advance to the next level will be determined by the way they handle Kapcherop of Keiyo and Umoja from Uasin Gishu.

In girls’ category, former national champions Wiyeta Girls of Trans Nzoia meet AIC Kangetich of Turkana, Kaptagat (Keiyo) and Pokot’s Tartar pool ‘A’. Ndudori from Nakuru are in Group ‘B’ alongside Itembe of Bomet and Ngeria of Uasin Gishu.
