Squad

86 days out for Dennis Wanjala after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Muranga Seal will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Christopher Ochieng 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 Muranga Seal this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Wages swallow 137% of the Muranga Seal income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Squad

Words at Muranga Seal training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dennis Munyovi 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.

Squad

Denis Simiyu stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Denis Simiyu and Muranga Seal agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout

No hiding place for Lucas Maina

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

Market

Kakamega Homeboyz come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Muranga Seal did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Price Omenda 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 Muranga Seal can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Wilson Mwangi keeps Muranga Seal in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings

Up for the corner, and Telvin Irungu delivers — 7.77

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Telvin Irungu scored, was marked 7.77, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad

A falling-out at Muranga Seal

Victor Haki and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market

Moses Nyakeya steps up from the Muranga Seal academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Moses Nyakeya has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

One of our own: Amos Kagere joins the Muranga Seal first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Amos Kagere is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Player ratings

Dennis Munyovi was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 16. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match

Elly Saenyi rescues a point for Muranga Seal

It needed Elly Saenyi to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Ulinzi Stars, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.
