Zambia hammered Kenya 8.5-5 to win the much publicised Under 18 International tournament at Manyatta Polo Club in Gilgil yesterday.
The Central Africans were too good for the Kenyan side right from the first to the last whistle.
All the Zambians goals save for one were scored by Captain and Man-of-the-Match Ryan Jellis while Kenyan Captain Lochie Murray scored all the five goals.
First to score was Zambia with two quick goals in the first few seconds of opening chukka from a 60 yard penalty by Jellis before Zac Dun added the second one towards the end of the first chukka.
A team spirit finish saw Lochie Murray hit the first goal for Kenya a few seconds after the second Zambian goal.
In second chukka, Jellis increased the tally from a solo but a very faster move.
