The day witnessed almost all games decided on penalty shootouts for the primary games unlike the JSS where winners were decided on normal time. However, the chair Amagoro zone has urged the ministry to ensure medical equipment are available like ambulances and first aid drugs during the games as two casual injuries were reported with several minor injuries in the course of the day.
“Next time let’s make sure that nurses are near to help nurse the injuries rather than leaving the burden to the innocent parents and guardians, ” Emojong said.
The KePSHA chair, Elkanah Achia,who flagged the day, said that scouts have been around and as a department they will help the scouted pupils and students to reach the merited levels asking parents not to hold back the potential and upcoming talents in the society.
“The talents are here with us and we can’t let go as we’ll support all the scouted athletes wherever our hands can scratch to their success, ” Achia said. The selected players to represent Amagoro zone in primary games will camp at Malaba Township Primary on Monday 15th before traveling for the subcounty competition the following day.
