The knee: Geordy Ndecket out for 14 days
14 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Kenya Police lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Kenya Police they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Baraka Badi pops up at the right end — 7.77
7.77, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Kenya Police share the spoils with Bandari
A 1‑1 draw with Bandari leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.
The dugout15 Feb 2027
The view from the dugout
“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Dennis Okoth chose the glass-half-full version of 1‑1; the supporters left with the other one.
