Omuga off to flying start in Lake Region Kattiso games

Omuga began their Lake Region Kenya Technical Training Institutions Sports Organization men’s football campaign with a 4-1 win over Nyakach in Siaya County.

Striker Felix Ochieng’ grabbed a first-half brace as Omuga declared their intentions to defend their title. Tony Jard pulled one back for Nyakach on the stroke of halftime.
