The ground has had enough
“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 7 of the 32 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

APS Bomet come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Kakamega Homeboyz did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

A performance of 8.73 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Yashnarbek Berdirahmonov runs at them all day

One of those days for Peter Thiong'o
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.66, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Timothy Nyakeya stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Timothy Nyakeya and Kakamega Homeboyz agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
In brief
- Squad Joshua Nyatini finally opens his account
- Player ratings The one thing Derrick Otanga could not do
- Market Peter Thiong'o linked with a move away
