Market

Only the photograph left for Brian Wekesa

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Brian Wekesa will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Kakamega Homeboyz the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Josephat Lopaga

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Kakamega Homeboyz

Brian Wekesa 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 Oliver Machaka

“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.

Loan watch

Ibrahim Wanzala counts the days

“I watch every Kakamega Homeboyz game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Ulinzi Stars runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Squad

Joshua Nyatini named player of the week

One weekend, judged against everybody else's. Joshua Nyatini has come out on top of it, and for most footballers a weekly award is the only silverware a career ever produces.

Market

Salim Murunga 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 The request is on a desk at Kakamega Homeboyz, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Salim Murunga goes up and wins it — 7.30

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.30 for the rest of it.

Match

4 matches without a win for Kakamega Homeboyz

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

Squad

Tempers go at Kakamega Homeboyz

Cohen Stander 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

Roy Katri gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Roy Katri has just signed for Kakamega Homeboyz, and for once the answer mattered.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Kakamega Homeboyz

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Boardroom

Kefa Nakhumicha will join Kakamega Homeboyz for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Kefa Nakhumicha has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Kakamega Homeboyz have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Match

A bad afternoon for Kakamega Homeboyz against AFC Leopards

1‑2 to AFC Leopards, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

Kenneth Okoth steps up from the Kakamega Homeboyz academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Kenneth Okoth 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.
