Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Nyanza region basketball champions Onjiko and Maseno School will renew their rivalry during the Amadi Open Tournament this weekend. Last year, Onjiko dethroned Maseno at the county level and went ahead to win the Nyanza region title on debut. Patrick Mboya, the Maseno basketball coach said his team is ready.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing defending champions, Onjiko will be under pressure. We played a friendly two weeks and lost to then. They looked sharp and better, however, if we get an opportunity to play them again this weekend, we hope to go head-to-head,\u201d said Mboya.<\/p>\n

In rugby, Western region rivals Kakamega High School and Koyonzo will be in contention. They will be joined by hosts Maseno, Nakuru High, Nduru Boys, Kabianga, Vihiga High, St Mary\u2019s Yala and Butula Boys according to tournament coordinator Caleb Olang\u2019o.<\/p>\n

\u201cRugby 7\u2019s and 15\u2019s will be highly contested because most of the teams entered are regulars at the national championships. National Sevens champions Koyonzo will also be in the house,\u201d said Olang\u2019o.<\/p>\n

He said the schools are using this tournament to test their teams ahead of Term One games. Other schools that have confirmed their participation are national girl\u2019s football champions Wiyeta and former Nyanza regional girls hockey champions Sinyolo Girls.<\/p>\n

The tournament will feature football, basketball, hockey, chess, rugby, handball, volleyball and racquet games. \u201cSo far, 50 schools and institutions of higher learning have confirmed participation. We expect more teams to take part,\u201d he told the Star on phone.<\/p>\n

He at the same time exuded confidence that Maseno will restore their lost glory. \u201cOur teams participated in Yala and Kamusinga Open tournaments where they gave a good account of themselves. I\u2019m confident we shall regain our regional titles this year,\u201d said Olang\u2019o.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the annual Mbita High School open tournament will also be held this weekend. Coordinator Kennedy Atanga said more than 20 schools have confirmed participation.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing the cancellation of Homa Bay open, we expect more teams to confirm participation by Friday,\u201d said Atanga.<\/p>\n

Some of the teams enlisted include Agoro Sare, Homa Bay High, Gendia, Kanga High, St Joseph\u2019s Rapogi, Orero, Ulanda, Oriwo, Ringa, Kandiege among others.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Agoro Sare\u2019s rugby coach Kistus Onditi says his Sevens team will target the regional final and a place at the national championships. \u201cI\u2019m currently working on conditioning and mental preparedness ,\u201d he said. During the Agoro Sare Open, they lost 19-14 to Rongo University in the Sevens final.<\/p>\n
