“We have had prayers and prayed enough and we are still praying. The prayers have been great for us and kept us on the good course ahead of the championships,” said Okova.
Apart from the prayers, the school, popularly referred to Green Commandos, with part of students taking part in the National Super League (NSL), the school is in pool A alongside other soccer bigwigs St. Anthon’s Boys, Kitale, Kathungi and Kisumu Day in pool A.
“Our main challenger is St. Anthony though we have prepared very well for the championships and going ahead, newcomers Dagoreti will have an impact too,” said Okova.
