No sign of nerves from Ally Salum Omar at 20 — 8.10

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Ally Salum Omar did not need any: 8.10, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Words exchanged at Kariobangi Sharks

Joseph Mwangi 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.

Match

Ally Salum Omar’s goal not enough for Kariobangi Sharks

Ally Salum Omar scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Bandari, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The dugout

Brian Kibwage faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Brian Kibwage after 2‑3, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad

Words at Kariobangi Sharks training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Bob Cetric 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.

Patillah Omoto runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Bob Cetric

“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.

Squad

Ally Salum Omar is the weekend's best young player

At 20 he is being measured against the rest of the division's kids and coming out in front. The senior version of this award is where the club would like this to lead.

Looking ahead

Bryton Onyona goes back to face Gor Mahia

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Bryton Onyona’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Kariobangi Sharks needing him to play as if none of it matters.

In brief
