A knee injury of the worst kind for Nicholas Rupia
29 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. KCB lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
Patrick Otieno scores twice — 8.95
Two goals and a mark of 8.95 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Victor Odhiambo 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 KCB can pretend not to have heard.
Transfer targets10 Aug 2026
KCB make their move for Bryton Onyona
$55.0K on the table at Gor Mahia. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Kenya Police tell KCB: Alvin Mangeni is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

KCB see off Kakamega Homeboyz
Three points for KCB, 2‑1 the final word against Kakamega Homeboyz in a contest settled by the finer margins.

One of their own: Tyron Kariuki
He is 19 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.

Brian Mulee steps up from the KCB academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Brian Mulee has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Michael Onyango steps up from the KCB academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Michael Onyango has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
