Clyde Senaji falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
It is a small honour and it is not nothing: somebody watched every match in the division and decided that Boniface Omondi was the best thing in any of them.
The words a physio says slowly. 22 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.
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.03 at 37, and nobody on the pitch was better.
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at KCB is pretending he will be back in the shirt.
The offer from Posta Rangers for Josphat Andafu Mukhwana was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

The phone has started ringing about Fortune Omoto again, and this time the name on the line is AFC Leopards. KCB are listening politely and promising nothing.
Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Kenneth Wambua has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.
Nashon Alembi was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
The paperwork is done long before the player is. Mbarak Musa Omari has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means KCB have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Gomolemo Kekana, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 8.19

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Rowland Makati has come out of that comparison in the side, and KCB have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at KCB, and it is not being withdrawn.
