Kisumu Day High School kicked off their Term two ball games on a high note after thrashing Xaverian 6-0 in the Kisumu Central Sub County Term Two Group B football matches played at Kisumu Day grounds on Thursday.
Kisumu Day who are the Kisumu County champions top the pool with four points after being held to a barren draw by Magadi School.
However, it was against Xaverian that the football giants showed their goal scoring prowess.
Brian Odiwuor scored a hat trick to lead ‘Yudhee’ to victory as Braidone Simidi, Benard Ouma and Bavon Omondi joined in on the scoresheet.
Kisumu Day multidisciplinary coach Booker Odhiambo told the Standard Sports their goal is to better last year’s results when they finished runners up at the Nyanza Region finals when they lost to Homa Bay giants Agoro Sare at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University in Bondo, Siaya.
