Match

The run at home goes on for Kakamega Homeboyz

12 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

The dugout

Glen Masava keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Kakamega Homeboyz may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Boardroom

Window shuts: 7 in, 0 out at Kakamega Homeboyz

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 7 arrived, 0 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

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

Market

George Olunga steps up from the Kakamega Homeboyz academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. George Olunga 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.

One of our own: John Kamau joins the Kakamega Homeboyz first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. John Kamau is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

In brief
