After weeks of hard fought games the finest young stars of GAFFER’s teams have battled their way to within just 90 minutes of the biggest final of their lives!

The Semi-Finals are due to be played this coming weekend and feature neighbouring villages and long standing rivals Jora and Rukanga villages facing off on Saturday. On Sunday another derby will see Itinyi Village take on Kale for a spot in the big final! The standard of football is improving at a great rate in Kasigau and from a league traditionally dominated by bigger teams; it is fantastic to see that training can pay off so sweetly for these young guys from the smaller villages. All at GAFFER are excited by the prospect of selecting the next GAFFER Youngstars from the finest players from the teams that have played so hard in the qualifying stages! We have a date with the big boys in Mombasa and are looking to take our first Under-16 victory in the big city in 2011!

Busy times for GAFFER these last few weeks. Mr Mohamed has officially jined the family and will be adding his unique and fantastic form of football comentary to this site very soon. Ben also paid James a visit at GAFFER HQ for a few weeks.

The league kick off is on May 11th and is shaping up nicely. The fixtures are being prepared for the site as we speak. The captains all convened in Maungu this last week and all is set for another great season. Ben and James then set about visiting pitches and players to ensure all is set.

This looks set to be a great championship and with Mr Mohamed on board things can only look good for football in East Africa!
