TIM WANYONYI SUPERCUP 2015: ATHLETICO AND WESTGIRLS CROWNED AS THE NEW CHAMPIONS

By -
Kangemi Athletico Fc pipped defending Champions Amigos Fc by a solitary goal at Kihumbuini Stadium in Kangemi on Saturday, December 12, 2015 to emerge as the new champions of the 3rd Edition of the Westlands Constituency Tim Wanyonyi Super Cup.

Albert Onywera’s 70th minute 30 yard wonder strike beat the 1st runners up Kenya Premier League Golden Glove winner Farouk Shikalo to win the tightly contested match.

Meanwhile Westgirls were the victors in the ladies category after withstanding late pressure from Victoria Queens who had a goal disallowed in the 60th minute for offside to win 6-5 through spot kicks after a barren stalemate.

Star Studded Amigos
Amigos who featured a multitude of  Kenya premier league players including Patila Omoto, Francis Kahata, Moses Abisi and Joseph Shikokoti failed to defend the title they won last year after struggling against a well-oiled Athletico Fc coached by the experienced Athanus Obango.

Amigos had the better of the first half and Paul Odhiambo, who scored in last year’s final against Kangemi All Stars, nearly broke the deadlock twice in quick succession only to be denied by superb stops from Athletico keeper Michael Kalemere.

Athletico’s Technical Astuteness and Resilience
From the first whistle the pace and movement of Tiego Collins and Albert Onywera immediately exposed Jashwel Ngugi, in particular, in the style that has troubled so many teams on Athletico's remarkable run in the tournament.

Athletico’s technical astuteness and resilience yielded the much required fruits after Onywera was beautifully teed up by Johnson Aswani’s through pass from the right wing. He turned Geoffrey Shiveka inside out before unleashing a screamer that beat the startled Farouk Shikalo in goal.

As Athletico pressed and pushed, Amigos retreated on to the back foot. Obango’s side looked high on confidence and adrenalin, the reigning champions fearful and tentative.

Athletico held on to win the match with eye catching intricate passing and excellent positioning starving the Kenyan International duo of Patilla Omoto and Francis Kahata the ball to create opportunities.

3rd Edition Tim Wanyonyi Super Cup New Winners
Athletico Fc becomes the third side to have won the Tim Wanyonyi Men Super Cup after Kangemi All Stars (2013) and Amigos Fc ( 2014) coincidentally also from Kangemi.

Westgirls Fc from Kitisuru beat Victoria Queens from Parklands Ward 6-5 through penalty shoot outs after a 0-0 stalemate in regular time to emerge as the new Tim Wanyonyi Women Super Cup Champions dethroning Kangemi ladies who won the last two previous editions.

Winners Awards
Athletico Fc was awarded KES 75,000, Amigos got KES 50,000, SAGGS Fc received KES 30,000 while UON CAVS were awarded KES 20,000 for finishing fourth.

Westgirls pocketed KES 50,000, Victoria Queens went home with KES 30,000, Kibagare Ladies got KES 20,000 while Kabete Ladies were awarded KES 10,000 for finishing fourth.
The winning teams went home with trophies while the 1st and 2nd runners up were also awarded with medals. All of the 8 women and men semi-finalists were fully kitted by the Westlands legislator Hon Tim Wanyonyi who co-sponsored the event with CDF.

KANGEMI PRIMARY TRANSFORMED BY TIM WANYONYI

Kangemi Primary School pupils studying in one of the refurbished classrooms courtesy of Westlands MP Hon Tim Wanyonyi. Kangemi Primary School was established in 1927. It is the only public primary school in the expansive Mountain View Ward. The school has a current enrollment of 1,846 pupils and 30 teachers. The school bore the brunt of a ballooning population of its catchment comprising of Gichagi, Rift Valley, Village Inn and St Joseph informal settlement areas.  The free primary education programme introduced in January 2003 positively contributed to an increased enrollment of pupils at the school .The high enrollment with the limited physical facilities at the school resulted in congested classrooms. The defunct city council failure to allocate resources to the school further  contributed to the sorry state of affairs with the school infrastructure being overstretched. The school depicted decay, disuse and neglect. Everything was in tatters from the crumbl...
