Malezi Basketball Team Dominate Lenana

Malezi School boys continued with their march to top in the group stages of the Nairobi Secondary Schools Sports Association (NSSA) Schools League, taking advantage of mistakes in ball handling by national school Lenana, to win 69 - 11.  Malezi coach Amoko stated his disappointment with the management of the match, where the referee arrived an hour late, and only got to officiate in the final quarter, thereby leaving his substitute to carry the bulk of the work, and as a result, many fouls were allowed to take place. The top scorers were Zack Okongo and Lino Manyuel (both 15 points each)
