Dawn of Greatness

A T.Y.G Story

 December 2012,  a year after formation of Matawa Youth Development (Re) Union, now the prestigious Transformers Youth Group, we managed to host the first ever under 15 Football Tournament at Matawa Primary School Grounds. To many it was the most damn event ever to be organized  in  the region, but to a selected few, allow me not to use the term 'wise',  it was simply the Dawn of Greatness.

With a budget of Ksh. 1800, from members contribution and good will friends, the tournament kicked off , ended in few days.  It was after the finals,that we realized how talented the young teens are, money wasn't there main focus, but the opportunity to show case talent at an open field was enough for them to request us not to imagine of giving up on our dreams. 

To manage the sports event, a sports department was formed within our group, specifically to run any sporting event.  Prince - Sports Chairman, Streverns, Zadock and Timo are the members.

Over the years, our tournament has expanded to cover the entire Mumias Region, with representation from all the key areas of the region, Simba of Bubaka, Transformers, Manchester, Dynamic  of Matawa, Young Star of Lureko, Tsunami of Shibale, not forgetting Burangasi Fc compining players from Buchifi to Buchituour Annual December Tournament is now one of the best in the region.

In 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016 the Annual Football Tournaments was funded fully by Transformers Youth Group members contributions, friends, partners and well wishers. 2014 we managed to secure a sponsorship from Mumias CDF Sports kitty, and in 2017 we collaborated with the current MCA Mumias Central Ward, Hon. Charles Odanga.
