The terraces

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 8 of the 31 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Market

Bob Cetric puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at APS Bomet, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at APS Bomet

Sven Yidah 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.

Match

APS Bomet cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Match

APS Bomet come up short against Kariobangi Sharks

Kariobangi Sharks left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Morgan Ambuka gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Words at APS Bomet training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Antony Naibei 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.

Squad

A promise honoured for Hillary Wandera

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. APS Bomet told Hillary Wandera something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Kusi Nana Asante

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

The terraces

APS Bomet sell a favourite for $80.0K

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Evans Mwirigi was one of the reasons people came, and $80.0K does not replace that by itself.

Market

Edward Masembe puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at APS Bomet, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Posta Rangers come back empty-handed

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

Market

APS Bomet get their man

The chase for Nelson Likhanga ended with $48.0K changing hands and Sofapaka out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad

Sven Yidah 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 APS Bomet this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

APS Bomet sell Evans Mwirigi for $80.0K

Evans Mwirigi has left for Mara Sugar in a $80.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

Hansel Ochieng gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings

Kusi Nana Asante 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.

Squad

The armband comes off Hansel Ochieng

APS Bomet will explain it as a decision about the team, and it may well be one. A dressing room has never once read it that way.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

A hiding for APS Bomet

Beaten 0‑3 by Bandari, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

The terraces

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 13 of the 29 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Market

Bob Cetric asks to leave APS Bomet

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

APS Bomet say no — this time

The offer from Muranga Seal for Evans Mwirigi was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Tempers go at APS Bomet

Sven Yidah 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Hillary Otieno

“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.

Boardroom

Nobody left the APS Bomet dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Market

APS Bomet and Morgan Ambuka are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

APS Bomet pick somebody else ahead of Hillary Wandera

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

In brief
