James Mazembe drives the Shabana comeback
2 behind and going nowhere, until James Mazembe decided otherwise. Posta Rangers had done the hard part and then watched it come apart, and the noise at the final whistle was the sort a ground keeps.

Both of them James Mazembe's — 8.36
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.36, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Shabana say no — this time
The offer from Bidco United for Denis Simiyu was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Tempers go at Shabana
Mohamed Hamami 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.

James Mazembe sends Shabana past Posta Rangers
It finished 4‑3, and it was James Mazembe’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Shabana.

Shabana supporters have found a favourite in Brian Junior Olega
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Brian Junior Olega has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Ninety minutes of Bryan Michira at his very best
Marked 8.25. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Shabana.

Kevin Munika 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.

This league is too small for Mohamed Hamami
He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Shabana will not keep him by pretending otherwise.
