Market7 Sep 2026

Eugene Ikutwa puts it in writing

“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 The request is on a desk at Tusker, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match5 Sep 2026

Tusker make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Tusker have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Tusker

Dennis Oalo 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.

Match5 Sep 2026

Dennis Oalo the difference as Tusker beat Mathare United

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Dennis Oalo. 1‑0 against Mathare United, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Dennis Oalo was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.31. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad7 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Dennis Wanjala

“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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Dancan Omala 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A place in the month's best eleven for Thomas Teka

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Thomas Teka has come out of that comparison in the side, and Tusker have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Nobody could get near Ian Simiyu Jr.

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Fantamady Diarra runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market10 Aug 2026

Tusker turn down AS Police for Brandon Obiero

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Brian Opondo 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 Tusker this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Fantamady Diarra gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Fantamady Diarra has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Tusker know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Market10 Aug 2026

Still no ink between Tusker and Dennis Oalo

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Tusker, another week without a signature from Dennis Oalo.

Market10 Aug 2026

Eugene Ikutwa is free to find somewhere else

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

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tusker pick somebody else ahead of Denis Iguma

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Match8 Aug 2026

Point won or two lost for Tusker?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Bidco United? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Squad3 Aug 2026

Eric Kapaito stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Eric Kapaito and Tusker agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Tusker

Brian Opondo 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.

Match1 Aug 2026

Eric Kapaito sends Tusker past Kariobangi Sharks

It finished 2‑0, and it was Eric Kapaito’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Tusker.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Charles Momanyi gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Dennis Oalo in the eights

A performance of 8.44 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

One of those days for Eric Kapaito

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.10, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Market3 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Tusker and Ian Simiyu Jr.

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Eric Kapaito finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Tusker have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Market3 Aug 2026

Alex Onchwari told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Alex Onchwari has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Tusker.

In brief
