champions from the last CECAFA tourney Burundi by a good margin. YES! WE
CAN..... Hope they will take the cup home along with the great Prize which
can help the program.

Eritrea storm Cecafa quartersBY BONNIE MUGABE
*Cecafa-Bashir Youth Championship-Sudan*
*Friday results*
Eritrea 3-1 Burundi
Ethiopia 1-3 Zanzibar
Malawi 3-1 Somalia
ERITREA were the first team to secure a quarter-final slot at the on-going
Cecafa Youth Championship in Sudan after Thursday’s shock 3-1 win over
defending champions Burundi.
The win also complicated Rwanda’s qualification chances since Michael
Weiss’s Junior Wasps must now avoid defeat against Burundi when the two
sides face-off on Monday.
Eritrea’s win took them atop Group C with four points. Rwanda, who drew
their opening tie against Eritrea are second with one point. Burundi are
still chasing for their first Cecafa points.
By press time, Group B leaders, Uganda’s Hippos, were gunning for their
second win at the championship against Kenya. Uganda got off to a blistering
start after a convincing 4-0 win over Ethiopia.
Zanzibar, who also registered a 3-1 win over Kenya were scheduled to play
Ethiopia.
