A classic western Kenya football rivalry will take centre stage on Thursday after Kakamega High School and St. Mary’s School Yala booked their places in the Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) National Term Two Games football final in Thika.
The eagerly anticipated showdown, dubbed the "school Mashemeji Derby," pits two of Kenya’s most successful football giants against each other after impressive campaigns through the group stages and semi-finals.
Twelve-time national champions Kakamega High, popularly known as the Green Commandos, secured their place in the final after overcoming a resilient Menengai High School 2-1 after extra time in a semi-final played at M-Pesa Academy on Wednesday.
