Marked for Eric Njeru

Squad16 Feb 2032

Boniface Andayi breaks a bone — 126 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 126 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The dugout16 Feb 2032

Evans Omondi Ouma keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Ulinzi Stars may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad16 Feb 2032

Shannel Makwata in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Ulinzi Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad16 Feb 2032

A row about effort at Ulinzi Stars

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Kamohelo Hoala was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match14 Feb 2032

Ulinzi Stars get the job done against APS Bomet

A 1‑0 win over APS Bomet, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings16 Feb 2032

A masterclass from Shaka Zulu

Marked 8.27 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings16 Feb 2032

Boniface Muchiri 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.

Squad16 Feb 2032

Eric Njeru stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Eric Njeru and Ulinzi Stars agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout16 Feb 2032

Interim Coach: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.

Boardroom20 Oct 2031

Pressure builds in the Ulinzi Stars boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

The dugout20 Oct 2031

The manager makes an example of Clinton Omondi

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad20 Oct 2031

Boniface Andayi falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad20 Oct 2031

Tempers go at Ulinzi Stars

Eric Njeru 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 dugout20 Oct 2031

Ousmane Banse 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 Ulinzi Stars, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market20 Oct 2031

Shaka Zulu linked with a move away

The name of Shaka Zulu keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Ulinzi Stars say nothing, which says plenty.
