Kenya Lionesses’ Grace Adhiambo on Tuesday was crowned the LG/SJAK Sports Personality for the Month of November.
The fly-half steered the national women’s 15s team to win the Africa Cup Pool 'B' title, beating hosts Uganda 23-3 in the final played at the Wankulukuku Stadium in Kampala where she was declared the player of the match.
For her exemplary performance, Adhiambo took home the New LG Top Freezer worth Sh120,000 powered by a 10-year warranty Smart Inverter compressor.
"It is such an honour to be selected as the sports personality of the month. To be quite honest, I could not have thought of winning it especially after beating many individual sports athletes in the selection process. It is such a motivation to keep working hard,” said Adhiambo, who joined Administration Police.
Speaking during the awarding ceremony at the RFUEA grounds, LG’s content manager William Kamore lauded Adhiambo for her achievement while also praising the diversity the award portrays across all sports disciplines.
Adhiambo got the nod over New York Marathon winners Sharon Lokedi and Evans Chebet, tennis ace Angela Okutoyi who won the doubles category of the World Women's tour at Karen Country Club as well as reaching the finals in the singles category, KCB utility forward Davis Chenge, who was named MVP at the Impala Floodlit tournament, Moses Omondi of Trail Blazers and rally driver Karan Patel who won the Kenya national title in November.
