Match9 Sep 2026

AFC Leopards bow out of the cup

Bandari go through and AFC Leopards go home, 1‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

No sign of nerves from Kelly Madada at 20 — 7.69

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Kelly Madada did not need any: 7.69, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words at AFC Leopards training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kaycie Odhiambo 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.

Match12 Sep 2026

James Kinyanjui the difference as AFC Leopards beat Tusker

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: James Kinyanjui. 2‑1 against Tusker, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The terraces14 Sep 2026

AFC Leopards supporters have found a favourite in Kelly Madada

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Kelly Madada 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.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Boniface Munyendo

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

One of those days for James Kinyanjui

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.60, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad14 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Victor Omune

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

Squad14 Sep 2026

Tempers go at AFC Leopards

Edwin Simiyu 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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Humphrey Katasi is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Humphrey Katasi: 3 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match26 Aug 2026

AFC Leopards march on in the cup

Sofapaka are out and AFC Leopards go through, 0‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

No sign of nerves from Hassan Beja at 20 — 7.84

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Hassan Beja did not need any: 7.84, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Market31 Aug 2026

Ronald Sichenje 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 AFC Leopards can pretend not to have heard.

Market31 Aug 2026

AFC Leopards get their man

The chase for Edwin Simiyu ended with $56.0K changing hands and Tusker out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Kennedy Odhiambo 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 AFC Leopards this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match29 Aug 2026

Whatever happens, AFC Leopards do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

One of those days for Samuel Ssenyonjo

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.33, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match29 Aug 2026

AFC Leopards see off Kenya Police

Three points for AFC Leopards, 3‑1 the final word against Kenya Police in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Match26 Aug 2026

Tusker march on in the cup

Mathare United are out and Tusker go through, 2‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Market31 Aug 2026

Inter Allies come back empty-handed

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

Market31 Aug 2026

Vincent Owino 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 Tusker can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Joseph Kemin, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 8.57

A mark of 8.57 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

The terraces31 Aug 2026

Tusker sell a favourite for $56.0K

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Edwin Simiyu was one of the reasons people came, and $56.0K does not replace that by itself.

Match29 Aug 2026

Still nobody has beaten Tusker

The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Dennis Oalo 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.

Market31 Aug 2026

Business is business: Edwin Simiyu goes

AFC Leopards paid $56.0K and Tusker took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

The terraces31 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Cliff Oruko

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
