Magarini was the last to recruit players where a total of 18 players were selected on Sunday 26th in an exercise that was witnessed by heavy rains in the area.
Kilifi County Chief Sports Officer Naftali Owino led the activity with Marafa Ward Representative Emmanuel Karisa Baya, who called on the selected players to be more disciplined when performing their duties.
On Saturday 25th, three players from Malindi sub-county were pulled out of the squad due to lack of Identity Cards.

Preparations are now set for the training camp as the recruited players will fight for the numbers to make the final squad traveling to Tharaka Nithi for the games.
