The war of the Gentleman’s game shifts to the lake side town

Nyanza Cricket Association will host a School cricket tournament on the 23rd of February on the banks of Lake Victoria at Kisumu Day secondary primary school fields. Although cricket competitions have been very sporadic, the game is growing and things are changing for the good.

It’s a good move by the new office at “CK” who have made their intentions clear of spreading the Gentleman’s game across the country and not limit it to big centers like Nairobi. This is good news for the untapped talent and resource in the “wild wild west”.


The following Teams are expected to Participate

Kisumu Day School,
kisumu senior School,
kisumu girls School
kisumu junior School
kasagam secondary School
Highway secondary School
YSDAK


Cricket Kenya has also organized  an governance and leadership course for the members of Nyanza Cricket Association, 15 members attended this program, and this should help the Association in administration and other off-field activities.

Personally my dream is to see a team from Nyanza play in the region’s most competitive competition the EAPL&C tournaments, and witness a couple of fields in Kisumu being uplifted to at least First-class level and some cricketers going on to play for Kenya against the best the world has to offer.
