Copa U-19 2019: Epic displays see Saint Anthony and Dagoretti High sail to final

Saint Anthony School of Kitale will fight for the Copa U-19 school ball games' ultimate prize with Dagoretti High on August 3.

Saint Anthony sailed to the finals after edging a resilient Ebwali High School 6-5 on post-match penalties, after the match ended with a 0-0 draw after extra time.

The Rift Valley representatives dominated the second half and won a penalty, but Godfrey Onjwati failed to successfully convert as his shot was stopped by Ebwali's gaolkeeper Brian Lungafwa.

The Saints were eliminated in the semi-finals the last year by Olbosalt.

Meanwhile, Nairobi's representatives Dagoretti High School earned their place in the ultimate stage after beating Central region's Olbosalt 3-1 in a game played at Moi Stadium.
