Match8 May 2030

Comfort Ngubo sends Gor Mahia through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Comfort Ngubo obliged against Mara Sugar. 3‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Gor Mahia.

Player ratings13 May 2030

Both of them Comfort Ngubo's — 9.14

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.14, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market13 May 2030

Paul Ochuoga is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Gor Mahia is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Player ratings13 May 2030

Omar Tharwat pops up at the right end — 7.88

7.88, 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.

Match11 May 2030

Gor Mahia make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Gor Mahia have 3 straight wins of it.

Player ratings13 May 2030

Haruna Abubakar was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 23. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad13 May 2030

Words exchanged at Gor Mahia

Patrick Odendo and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match11 May 2030

The run at home goes on for Gor Mahia

9 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Squad13 May 2030

Words at Gor Mahia training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Frank 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.

Words at Gor Mahia training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Frank 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.

Words exchanged at Gor Mahia

Daniel Sakari and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout24 Dec 2029

The manager makes an example of Omar Tharwat

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout24 Dec 2029

When it matters, Somtochuwku Ezenabo plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout24 Dec 2029

Byrne Omondi knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Gor Mahia, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market24 Dec 2029

The Ben Stanley Omondi talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Gor Mahia know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Match4 Aug 2029

Amza Moubarack leads the rout of Sofapaka

6‑1, and Amza Moubarack took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Gor Mahia tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings6 Aug 2029

Siya Msomi scores twice — 8.90

Two goals and a mark of 8.90 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings6 Aug 2029

A brace, and Amza Moubarack takes the afternoon — 7.99

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Amza Moubarack provided it, and the 7.99 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Match4 Aug 2029

Nobody wants to play Gor Mahia right now

5 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Transfer targets6 Aug 2029

Medical ends the Aphile Ngobese deal

Everything was agreed with another club and then the doctor spoke. Gor Mahia have walked away from a signing on the advice of somebody who never saw him play, which is how it is supposed to work.

Squad6 Aug 2029

Omar Tharwat arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Omar Tharwat has, at Gor Mahia, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad6 Aug 2029

Tempers go at Gor Mahia

Amza Moubarack 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.

Match4 Aug 2029

Amza Moubarack among the goals in a wild afternoon

7 goals in one match, Amza Moubarack on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Gor Mahia and Sofapaka.

Boardroom6 Aug 2029

The numbers do not look good at Gor Mahia

Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.
