"We will approach the game tactically and stronger. Kitondo is a good side and we can say we are prepared for them. We had an issue with lapse in defense, but we have already corrected it. They are tackling hard and stepping. So we expect a challenge," he offered.

Kitondo High School also cruised to the semifinals after a late comeback over favourites Bungoma High School. The Eastern Region team defeated Bungoma 26-12.

Bungoma High head coach Dennis Chikamai said that their defense worked wonders. He noted that they lost against Menengai yesterday due to their poor defence.
