Match19 Aug 2026
The cup run ends for Bandari
1‑1 against Posta Rangers, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

James Omusinde decides it from twelve yards
1 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

A one-man rearguard from Levis Opiyo
There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Rajab Omar 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 Bandari can pretend not to have heard.

A muscle injury sidelines Nyamawi Beja for 14 days
Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Bandari will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Tempers go at Bandari
Levis Opiyo 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.

Omar Somobwana misses from twelve yards
It was his to settle and he did not settle it. A long walk back to the halfway line, and a considerably longer week.

Nobody could get near Erick Balecho
Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Match22 Aug 2026
Nyamawi Beja rescues a point for Bandari
It needed Nyamawi Beja to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Gor Mahia, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.
