By Francis Ontomwa,

He was one of the sharpest strikers in this year’s Maseno Opens 19th edition staged at Maseno School last weekend notching two goals for his side. His most memorable goal is one that condemned hosts Maseno School in the finals to carry the coveted football crown. The story of 19 year old Nicholas Oduor carries sympathy and hope in equal measure.

He was picked from the streets at a tender age by an international Christian organization called International Fellowship of Kenya (INTERFELK) brought up and taken to school. The fourth born in a family of five, Oduor is now a form two student at Kisumu’s St. Jan’s Academy. According to his teachers he is an excellent student in class and when it comes to football he is a master.
