Match

APS Bomet sink to position 18

26 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Boardroom

APS Bomet put Michael Masika on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Market

Hansel Ochieng 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.

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.

Boardroom

Wages eat 111% of everything APS Bomet earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

Chris Sutton 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.

Market

Hansel Ochieng 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 APS Bomet can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Eyes on Morgan Ambuka again

The phone has started ringing about Morgan Ambuka again, and this time the name on the line is Kenya Police. APS Bomet are listening politely and promising nothing.

Match

4 matches without a win for APS Bomet

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around APS Bomet are no longer polite ones.

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.

Player ratings

Enock Wanyama runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

APS Bomet come up short against KCB

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

Squad

Sosthenes Idah 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.

Market

A long bet from APS Bomet on Chris Sutton

He is 19, and nobody at APS Bomet signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Market

APS Bomet sign Ibrahim Kahraba, one for the future

Ibrahim Kahraba is 18, and APS Bomet have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.
