Cup progress for Bandari
A 2‑1 win over Bidco United, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

A one-man rearguard from Levis Opiyo
There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Rajab Omar hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Bandari can pretend not to have heard.

Tempers go at Bandari
Levis Opiyo 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.

Bandari sell Izzadin Juma for $35.0K
Izzadin Juma has left for Kariobangi Sharks in a $35.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

A masterclass from William Wadri
Marked 8.39 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

No time for Bidco United to settle
The goal that put Bidco United ahead was still being replayed on the concourse when Bandari equalised, 3 minutes later. Leads are only worth what you do with them.
