Match3 May 2028

KCB march on in the cup

Ulinzi Stars are out and KCB go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

The dugout8 May 2028

Josphat Andafu Mukhwana: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” KCB have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings8 May 2028

Up for the corner, and Maxwell Kangeshima delivers — 7.72

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Maxwell Kangeshima scored, was marked 7.72, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Market8 May 2028

Jack Onganya is on his way

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

Squad8 May 2028

A falling-out at KCB

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

Match6 May 2028

6 unbeaten for KCB

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 6 matches without defeat is a foundation KCB did not have in the autumn.

The terraces8 May 2028

One of their own: Jack Onganya

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Squad8 May 2028

Gideon Werre falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad8 May 2028

The decline has begun for Ayanda Mvambi

Everybody saw it before anybody said it. At 37 the numbers say 3 points down on what he was, and the question for KCB is how to handle a man they owe a great deal.

In brief

  • Squad Austine Odongo is the division's best young player this month
  • The dugout Gideon Werre gets it from the manager
  • Boardroom Wages eat 90% of everything KCB earn

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad10 Apr 2028

Patrick Otieno damages knee ligaments — 29 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 29 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match8 Apr 2028

6 matches without a win for KCB

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around KCB are no longer polite ones.

Market10 Apr 2028

Jack Onganya is on his way

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

Squad10 Apr 2028

Tempers go at KCB

Ernest Mohammed 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.

Squad10 Apr 2028

Words at KCB training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Hernest Malonga 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.

Match8 Apr 2028

KCB rescue it on 85 minutes

Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 85. Nairobi United had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

The dugout10 Apr 2028

No hiding place for Gideon Werre

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

Player ratings10 Apr 2028

Hernest Malonga runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad10 Apr 2028

Maxwell Kangeshima signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Maxwell Kangeshima and KCB agree another 2 years.

In brief

  • Match KCB share the spoils with Nairobi United
  • The dugout The view from the dugout
  • Market KCB bring in an old head
