Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The national secondary schools’ football boys’ champions Ebwali Secondary are hoping to bounce back in a big on East Africa despite some of their players exiting this year.<\/p>\n

Head coach Francis Muhembe said they have proper structures in place despite some of the players sitting for their Form Four examinations this year.<\/p>\n

” We are back on the drawing board and we will not rest until we bring the East Africa trophy home,” he added.<\/p>\n

The Western region heavyweights defeated Nairobi’s Highway Secondary 1-0 in a final staged at the Nakuru High last month to bag their maiden national trophy.<\/p>\n

Muhembe said they will put everything in place to win the trophy regardless of their current financial situation.<\/p>\n

The tactician was speaking during a thanksgiving mass at Ebwali ACK church over the weekend. Muhambe attributed their good run to the players’ disciplined and support from the school Principal Barack Nyanja.<\/p>\n
