Boniface Muchiri runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 44. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad30 Aug 2027

6 saves: Lazarazu Otieno was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Match28 Aug 2027

A bad afternoon for Ulinzi Stars against Tusker

1‑3 to Tusker, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

KCB tell Ulinzi Stars: Brian Olang'o is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Words at Ulinzi Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Boniface Andayi is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Tempers go at Ulinzi Stars

Bonaventure Muchika 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 dugout30 Aug 2027

The manager makes an example of Kgaogelo Monanyane

“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.

The dugout30 Aug 2027

Brian Nyakeya faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Brian Nyakeya after 1‑3, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Defences have started doubling up on Boniface Muchiri

5 goals and a season average of 7.23 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Squad12 Apr 2027

The knee: Clinton Omondi out for 80 days

80 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Ulinzi Stars lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match10 Apr 2027

Ulinzi Stars come up short against Muranga Seal

Muranga Seal left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad12 Apr 2027

A row about effort at Ulinzi Stars

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Boniface Andayi was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad12 Apr 2027

Words exchanged at Ulinzi Stars

Bonaventure Muchika and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Omar Boraafya did the work nobody counts — 7.27

9 combined actions and 7.27. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

No hiding place for Musawenkosi Madonsela

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Musawenkosi Madonsela, and the manager let it.

Player ratings12 Apr 2027

Nobody could get near Boniface Muchiri

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

Brian Nyakeya: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Market12 Apr 2027

Ibrahim Shambi is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Ulinzi Stars has been clear about where Ibrahim Shambi stands, which is more than many ever get.
