Squad

Omar Mbongi damages knee ligaments — 108 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 108 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Player ratings

Both of them Boniface Muchiri's — 8.26

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.26, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

George Odhiambo in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Ulinzi Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

The manager makes an example of John Kago

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

Boniface Muchiri rescues a point for Ulinzi Stars

It needed Boniface Muchiri to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Kakamega Homeboyz, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Player ratings

Simon Omondi runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

In brief
