Nairobi United to lose Kefa Nakhumicha for free
There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Kefa Nakhumicha has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Prince Buregeya was immovable
19 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.
