Musokoto FC from Nambale Sub-county are officially the new Busia County League Zone A champions after edging their neighbours, Katakwa FC, 1:0 in what was seen as a sweet revenge. Mosokot FC have booked their slot in the FKF Western Regional games, with a game to play. Silva Okello’s lonely strike in the first half registered history for the host Musokoto FC in an entertaining match, attended by the Busia County Deputy Governor (DG), Arthur Odera, alongside his Vihiga County Counterpart Deputy Governor, Wilberforce Kitiezo. Addressing players moments before the match kicked off, the two DGs hinted at their commitment in their respective counties to better sports activities. ‘The County Government of Busia remains committed to reviving sports in the County. In our budget, we have set aside an allocation that will support teams representing the county at advanced stages,’ noted Odera. The visit by the DG comes days after Nambale Member of Parliament (MP), Geoffrey Mulanya, donated training kits and uniforms to the team that was impressive across the season. Musokoto FC Head Coach, Fred Kefa, has urged well-wishers and sponsors to come to the aid of the team, which will require financial muscle to manage the regional games, which involve travelling outside the County. ‘We have a vibrant and promising team for the County of Busia; I urge leaders and well-wishers to support us even as we start preparation for next season at another level,’ said Head Coach Kefa. The champions will travel to Kodedema in Teso South for their last game of the season to face Kifaru FC on Sunday. The team has 57 points.
