Samaj School clearly the leaders in the development game

SCLPS clearly showed their dominance in the development stakes as both A and B teams took out their respective finals, while St Marys were the third victorious side. The number of new names to followers of Kenyan cricket should be as exciting as it must be daunting for the incumbents in the national age group sides. Perhaps if events like this were run before regional age group finals, Kenya would field stronger sides...
