Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Chemelil Youth beat Bayern Academy 1-0 in the boys’ final of the Back to School Under -17 tournament to win the title today in Muhoroni, Kisumu County.<\/p>\n

The event, sponsored by Kisumu Senator Prof Tom Ojienda, saw Kevin Owino net the lone goal for Chemelil Youth in the 28th minute at Chemelil Stadium.<\/p>\n

Bayern missed several scoring chances as relentless Chemelil mounted a strong defence to guard the lead.<\/p>\n

In the girls’ final, Kopere Starlets beat Manyatta Queens 2-1 in the final. Juliet Adhiambo scored the first goal for Kopere barely six minutes into the match before Agnes Akinyi netted the second goal just a minute before the break.<\/p>\n

Manyatta Queens pulled a goal back through Stephanie Grace in the 52nd second minute.<\/p>\n

Prof Ojienda, who graced the finals alongside other leaders from Nyanza, said the tournament aims to nurture talent and empower youths in the county.<\/p>\n

The winners in the girls’ and boys\u2019 categories were awarded trophies and bursaries.<\/p>\n

The participants in the youth tournament were drawn from Muhoroni, Seme, Kisumu Central, Kisumu East, Nyando, Kisumu West and Nyakach sub-counties in Kisumu.<\/p>\n

The tournament, which is themed towards environment conservation, education empowerment, and gender-based violence advocacy attracted 20 teams (both boys and girls) at the preliminary stage.<\/p>\n
