The schools games have caused a kind of excitement on the internet given the turnout of fans.
The much-awaited final is the clash between St Anthony's Boys and their Dagoretti opponents.
St Anthony's from Kitale, Trans Nzoia County, trounced Kakamega's Shanderema in the semi-finals.
On their part, Dagoretti floored Agoro Sare from Homa Bay to make it to the finals.
The winners and runners-up are to represent Kenya Kigali, Rwanda, where the East African regional schools games will be held.
The games have been subject for discussion considering the hype and proper organisation accorded to it.
Many have argued KSSSA's ace organisation of the sports beats that of the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) which runs the country's top flight soccer league.
