The schools include St. Ruth School which won the 10 years and under category and the Home School whose teams dominated the 11-14 and 15-18 years’ categories in March 2025.
NCBA’s continued sponsorship has been instrumental in supporting JGF’s mission to make Golf a Sport for all including initiatives that empower girls, differently abled Juniors, and underprivileged youth.
Their partnership reflects a long-term investment in the development of not only golfers but also disciplined, focused, and responsible future leaders.
JGF President Vincent Mukiri remarked, “The beauty of the NCBA Interschool Tournament lies not only in the competition, but in the collaboration. By getting more schools involved, we are building a sustainable future for junior Golf in Kenya. Through our ‘Get Into Golf Initiative,’ we’re making sure every child, regardless of background gets a chance to learn, play and thrive through Golf.”
The tournament is the second of three interschool tournaments and the third will the historic NCBA Lisle Shaw Interschool Tournament set for October 2025, which will be open exclusively to Juniors with official handicaps.
This upcoming event will serve as a more competitive platform allowing juniors to test their skills against their peers on a national stage.
