AFC Leopards run riot against Mara Sugar

One of our own: Joseph Amuka joins the AFC Leopards first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Joseph Amuka is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

AFC Leopards promote Patrick Olunga from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Patrick Olunga has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
