Kibet shared his frustrations asking those who made away with them to return even if it meant him settling them. He implied the boots were dear to him. “Yesterday’s celebrations were great, but I lost my magical boots whoever picked them up at the technical bench to return I’ll sort him,” he said. Meanwhile, Kibet has had a magnificent run since the start of the Kenyan campaign in the regional games on November 25. He made it to the scoresheet on the first day of the tournament. Aldrine Kibet’s first goal for Kenya Kibet netted the third goal 33 minutes into the game, contributing to the haul with which the Kenyan team went to half-time against Sudan. The game ended 5-0 to Kenya’s northwestern neighbours; other goals were scored by Louise Ingavi (a brace), Tyrone Kariuki, and Elly Owande. The 17-year-old also sourced the second goal through an assist. This would be Kibet’s first international duty ever since he came into the limelight with his magnificent run with the St Anthony’s Boys team during the Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) ball games hosted in Kakamega in August this year. He would then fly to Spain to join the Tarragona-based Nastic Soccer Academy (NSA) alongside Amos Wanjala and Alvin Kasavuli, his teammates at St Anthony’s Boys and now in the under-18 Rising Stars national team.
