School Games: Odemba's Highway off to a bright start with victory over St. Josephs

In a fully packed Gusii Stadium, the Beldine Odemba-coached side showed calmness against the Rift Valley champions, to clinch the important win which the coach says was well deserved.

"We came in knowing how good they are, being the champions of Rift Valley and so we had to give our all. We got the basics right, and here we go onto the next one," said the Harambee Starlets coach, who also coaches the Kenya Women Premier League champions Police Bullets.

Highway Chief Principal Irungu Nduati lauded his boys for the composure they exhibited against their rivals, saying they are now more confident going into the second match on Monday.

"We have started well. We were prepared for them and the win means a lot to us ahead of our match against Dr. Aggrey. The approach is a game at a time, no pressure. We have the quality needed to go all the way," said Irungu.
