New Narok County handball kings Ongata Barrikoi Boys Secondary school are hoping to turn table on their rivals during Rift Valley
regional school term one games at Nandi county starting Sunday.

The champions are motivated by the fact that they floored the discipline powerhouse during the county games that was held in Transmara
West sub county, two weeks ago.

The school dethroned the reigning champions Chebitoik Day secondary
school after beating them 20-16 to claim the second title after
winning through the zonals, sub county and to the county levels.

The winners have been losing to Chebitoik Day frequently and the win
was sweet revenge.

Ongata Barrikoi is in Pool D alongside Morijo Mixed from Samburu and
St Mary’s Kitany of Elgeyo Marakwet county.

When the Nation Sports caught up with them doing their final touches
in their playgrounds, the school deployed the coach Evans Okoth and
his assistant Gerald Muli to give the boys more tips to enable them to
proceed to another level of the competition after region show.

Despite the coaches, other teachers led by the school principal
Richard Kimeto have joined the team training with an aim of
encouraging the players to be mentally fit so that they can book a
slot of national competition.

“There is a good team spirit among players after winning the county
games,” said Kimeto.

He said that even though they are facing numerous challenges, they
want to blend academic and co-curricular activities because both go
hand-in-hand.

Kimeto said that they are focusing their sights to reach the final of
the games and qualify for the national stage that is scheduled to be
held in Machakos later this month.

“Our players are disciplined and normally they play according to the
instructions and we will bank on that because everything is possible,”
said Kimeto.

The school head noted that throughout the competitions, they have been
insisting on discipline that led to success.

On his part, Okoth warned his players against complacency and
overconfidence saying they will not underestimate any opponent.

“We can pull surprises in the game because we know most of the big
names will underrate us but we are ready to face them,” he noted.

Captain George Nyangweso said that the win has motivated the team and
they are going into the championship with a mission of winning the
title.

“We are prepared for any opponent even though they will treat us as
underdogs. We will take every game seriously,” said Nyangweso.
