Match2 Feb 2036

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

21 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.

Squad4 Feb 2036

A knee injury of the worst kind for Luyanda Makhathini

57 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Mara Sugar lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match2 Feb 2036

Chastening afternoon for Mara Sugar

A 0‑4 beating by KCB was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Match2 Feb 2036

No clean sheets in sight for Mara Sugar

8 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Transfer targets4 Feb 2036

Fee done, terms next for Will Wilson

Mara Sugar and Tusker have settled on $2.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Boardroom4 Feb 2036

Window shuts: 5 in, 1 out at Mara Sugar

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 5 arrived, 1 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

The dugout4 Feb 2036

David Muguna: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Mara Sugar have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad4 Feb 2036

Words exchanged at Mara Sugar

Mcebisi Langa and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets4 Feb 2036

Mara Sugar bid $4.0K for Abdelaziz Youssouf

The offer went to Sofapaka this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad12 Nov 2035

A knee injury of the worst kind for Luyanda Makhathini

141 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Mara Sugar lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market12 Nov 2035

Collins Olunga 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.

Squad12 Nov 2035

Words exchanged at Mara Sugar

Mcebisi Langa and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market12 Nov 2035

One of our own: David Ochieng joins the Mara Sugar first team

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

Market12 Nov 2035

One of our own: Joseph Ouma joins the Mara Sugar first team

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

One of our own: George Okoth joins the Mara Sugar first team

Squad12 Nov 2035

Joseph Onyango signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Joseph Onyango and Mara Sugar agree another 3 years.

The dugout12 Nov 2035

Ibrahim Ochieng is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

The dugout12 Nov 2035

John Kahata gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say John Kahata is on it.

Match15 Sep 2035

17 matches without a win for Mara Sugar

The run now stands at 17, and the questions being asked around Mara Sugar are no longer polite ones.

Match15 Sep 2035

A hiding for Mara Sugar

Beaten 0‑3 by APS Bomet, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Squad17 Sep 2035

Mcebisi Langa keeps Mara Sugar in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Transfer targets17 Sep 2035

David Sakwa will not be coming to Mara Sugar

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Bandari is saying, and nobody at Mara Sugar is enjoying the guessing.

Squad17 Sep 2035

Tempers go at Mara Sugar

Mcebisi Langa 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.

Match15 Sep 2035

No clean sheets in sight for Mara Sugar

4 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

The dugout17 Sep 2035

Mcebisi Langa 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.

Squad17 Sep 2035

David Muguna signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” David Muguna commits to Mara Sugar for another 3 years.

Boardroom17 Sep 2035

Doors closed at Mara Sugar

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.
