The terraces29 Dec 2031

The mood at Mara Sugar has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Match29 Dec 2031

Every point is an argument now for Mara Sugar

Position 17 and 12 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market29 Dec 2031

Kenny Kima Beyissa asks to leave Mara Sugar

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The dugout29 Dec 2031

Evidence Mkhize frozen out at Mara Sugar

This is not rotation. Evidence Mkhize has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Mara Sugar is pretending otherwise.

Squad29 Dec 2031

David Olunga stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” David Olunga and Mara Sugar agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad29 Dec 2031

Tempers go at Mara Sugar

Moses Ayumba 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.

The dugout29 Dec 2031

David Olunga gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market29 Dec 2031

The Brian Ochieng question follows Mara Sugar around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Brian Ochieng’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout29 Dec 2031

Kevin Omurwa knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Mara Sugar, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The terraces21 Apr 2031

Supporters organise against the Mara Sugar board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Squad21 Apr 2031

The knee: Erick Zakayo out for 25 days

25 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Mara Sugar lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match19 Apr 2031

No end in sight to Mara Sugar's wait for a win

12 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Mara Sugar has to find a result from somewhere.

Match21 Apr 2031

Every point is an argument now for Mara Sugar

Position 17 and 3 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Match19 Apr 2031

Mara Sugar cannot find the net

6 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad21 Apr 2031

A falling-out at Mara Sugar

Luyanda Makhathini and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings21 Apr 2031

Evidence Mkhize did the work nobody counts — 6.64

13 combined actions and 6.64. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

The dugout21 Apr 2031

Interim Coach: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Match19 Apr 2031

Mara Sugar and Kakamega Homeboyz cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Kakamega Homeboyz came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.
