After playing second fiddle to Uganda, Kenyan boys may reclaim the title that has eluded them for the past two years.

This is after former East Africa holders St Anthony’s Kitale, national champions Musingu High School and St Charles Lwanga qualified for Saturday’s semis.

The Kenyan boys will be looking to secure an all Kenyan final as this year’s Federation of East Africa Secondary Schools Sports Association (FEASSSA) games enter day seven here in Mbale, Uganda.

Kenyans will face St Charles Lwanga who beat last year’s winners Kangulu Memorial and their Ugandan counterparts Kyadondo Secondary School in their Group B encounters to oust them from the championship.
