Kakamega County’s Koyonzo Boys Secondary School football team have been disqualified from participating in the on going Western Region Secondary Schools Term Two Games in Mumias.

The Western Region Secondary Schools Sports Association (WRSSSA) Secretary Quinto Omusungu said the decision was taken Thursday after Koyonzo players attacked centre referee Suleiman Wafula during their Pool “A” match against Chavakali Secondary School.

Koyonzo players were disputing a second goal that had been scored by Chavakali Secondary School in the 31st minute. Chavakali was leading 2-0.

“The players stormed into the field and harassed the whistler before snatching the ball from him at Mwitoti Secondary School Ground. This is a case of indiscipline," said Omusungu.
