Rigoma FC trounced Getacho 1-0 to win the Nyamira Super 8 tournament trophy on Sunday.

Nathan Mayani scored the lone goal to win the tournament sponsored by Extreme Sports Ltd in collaboration with Nyamira FKF branch.

The winner pocketed Sh 50,000 with runner-up Getacho bagging  Sh30,000. Ikonge Township walked away with Sh20,000 defeating Kata Kata 3-2 through a penalty shoot-out following a  1-1 draw in the play-off match.

The winning teams also received balls and uniforms courtesy of Extreme Sports CEO Mohammed Hussein, who was represented by Athanus Obango. 

The tournament coincided with the company's 20-year celebrations since its inception. From the sponsorship, the company has mentored players in the current Super League among other levels.

Football stakeholders from the county including Nyamira FKF chairman Luthas Mokua said for the first time, 38 teams were enlisted in the tournament.

He termed the tournament a revolution where football had been cascaded to the grassroots. Rigoma FC patron Nyambega Gisesa commended Extreme Sports for organising the tournament and urged football lovers to reject those bent on frustrating players during the impending FKF elections.

Reuben Okibo remarked the vice of intoxicating substances will be fought to ensure the players are not influenced by it.
