Boardroom24 Aug 2026

Mara Sugar go back to the board over Clinton Asiago

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $11.1K — a club that wants Clinton Asiago enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Ebenezer Adukwaw due for a Mara Sugar medical

Everything agreed with Gor Mahia, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Mara Sugar bid $11.0K for Clinton Asiago

The offer went to Bidco United this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Mara Sugar

Alex Imbusia 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.

Match22 Aug 2026

Posta Rangers take the points off Mara Sugar

Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Mara Sugar rebuffed over Elly Saenyi

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Muranga Seal have kept their man, and Mara Sugar go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 2‑3 Patrick Ayumba left the room before anybody could ask which.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Ibrahim Ochieng beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 15. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

Robinson Musungu 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Evans Omondi Ouma stands alone

11 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match1 Aug 2026

Mara Sugar taken apart

0‑4 to AFC Leopards, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Market3 Aug 2026

Emmanuel Obala 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 Mara Sugar, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Alex Imbusia signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Alex Imbusia and Mara Sugar agree another 3 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Mara Sugar

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

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Kelvin Mwavali 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.

Boardroom3 Aug 2026

Nobody left the Mara Sugar dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Market3 Aug 2026

Mara Sugar and Michael Isabwa are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Patrick Ayumba faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Patrick Ayumba after 0‑4, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.
