Solidarity Boys, Sinyereri Ladies crowned Trans Nzoia FKF Champions

The Ndura Sports Complex in Kitale was a cauldron of excitement as Solidarity Boys of St Anthony’s Kitale and Sinyereri Ladies (Wiyeta Girls) were crowned champions in the men’s and women’s categories of the FKF Trans-Nzoia County Championships, respectively.

In the men’s final, Solidarity Boys edged out Active FC 1–0 in a tense, hard-fought encounter. Striker Geligory Wekesa netted the decisive goal in the 10th minute with a composed finish that sent their fans into wild celebrations. Despite dominating much of the second half, Active FC failed to breach Solidarity’s resolute backline. The champions walked away with the prestigious trophy and a KSh 300,000 cash prize.

The grand finals drew a vibrant crowd of fans and county dignitaries, including Trans-Nzoia County Sports Executive Eluid Tormoi, County Director of Sports Jane Wachwenge, and FKF Trans-Nzoia Branch Chairman Isaac Munene Kuria. Their presence underscored the growing stature of grassroots football in the region.

In the women’s showdown, Sinyereri Ladies (Wiyeta Girls) produced a dazzling display, hammering Dolphine Queens (Kwanza Girls) 5–1 to claim the FKF Trans-Nzoia Women’s League title.

Charity Muhevi struck twice, while Ever Passion Ayuma, Filia Khayesi, and Loice Adeti added one apiece. Ruth Nyongesa pulled one back for Dolphine Queens, courtesy of an assist from Shanley Nekesa.

Sinyereri Ladies took home the league trophy and a KSh 100,000 cash prize. This year’s women’s league featured 14 teams divided into two pools, running from June to August, with the top two sides from each group advancing to the semi-finals.

Despite the heavy defeat, Dolphine Queens head coach Ruth Nyongesa lauded her team’s fighting spirit.

“The girls played their hearts out; luck just wasn’t on our side today. We’ll correct our mistakes and come back stronger next season,” she said.

FKF Trans-Nzoia Chairman Isaac Munene praised the tournaments for their high level of discipline and talent, expressing optimism that next season will attract more sponsors and visibility.

“We’re looking forward to stronger partnerships with brands like Shabiki.com to elevate the league and draw scouts from higher-tier competitions,” he noted.

The pulsating double-header not only crowned deserving champions but also reaffirmed Trans-Nzoia’s growing reputation as a fertile ground for Kenya’s next generation of football stars.
