Sikhendu FC Receives Governors Cup Trophy from Kapsara FC
Sikhendu FC has officially received the prestigious Governors Cup trophy from Kapsara FC in a ceremony held today at the Kitale Museum grounds.
The handover followed a thrilling conclusion to the last Governors Cup tournament, which saw the two teams tie in the final match.
Governor George Natembeya had advised that both teams share the glory of the trophy, with each team holding it for six months before defending it in the upcoming Governors Cup 2nd Edition in 2024.
The event was attended by county government officials, team captains, coaches, and other dignitaries.
Kapsara FC, who had held the trophy since the last competition, graciously handed it over to Sikhendu FC, symbolizing their shared victory.
Stanley Kirui, CEC for Gender, Sports, Culture, and Tourism, commended both teams for their outstanding performance and sportsmanship throughout the tournament.
“There were challenges in the previous tournament, but those difficulties will serve to improve the organization and experience of the next tournament,” Kirui said.
He emphasized the importance of organizing the upcoming tournament well to fulfill the goals of the Governors Cup.
“The next tournament will have its own framework and objectives,” he added.
Kirui also mentioned that the county team must be ready by December, as this will be the basis for his evaluation.
