APS Bomet through in the cup
A 1‑0 win over Tusker, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.
Match12 May 2029
Evans Mwirigi wins it after the whistle should have gone
90 minutes played. Evans Mwirigi found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Mara Sugar went from a point to nothing inside one movement.
Player ratings14 May 2029
Both of them Evans Mwirigi's — 8.27
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.27, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at APS Bomet, and it is not being withdrawn.

APS Bomet supporters have found a favourite in Brian Juma
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 18-year-old it feels ownership of. Brian Juma has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Brian Juma was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 16. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
In brief
- Player ratings The afternoon belonged to Owen Mboya
- The dugout René Jung: “That is the standard”
- The dugout Brian Buleti has become a man the manager trusts
