Mwea Constituency Member of Parliament Mary Maingi is keen to ensure she nurtures the sports talent in her constituents and that the heritage lives on.
She takes a moment to share with us more about the Mary Maingi SuperCup.
“The Mary Maingi Super Cup season one has been an amazing experience. Witnessing the young boys and girls showcase their talents and give their best performances has been truly inspiring.
Finals results were as follows:

Ngurubani Fc Vs Bacelona FC (0:0) Penalties (4:2)

The coaches were able to identify one boy Newton “Westo” Njue from Mahigaini Fc, who will be taken through professional training to advance and grow his abilities.
