In the regional finals for the Western region which took place last month, Blue Saints and Bishop Njenga Girls emerged the winners at Bukuhungu stadium. In the Rift, defending champions Kapenguria Heroes lost out in the group stages which means that this season we will have new winners for both boys and girls.
