33 days out for Joseph Ochieng after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. APS Bomet will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Martin Manyama hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what APS Bomet can pretend not to have heard.

Window shuts: 5 in, 1 out at APS Bomet
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.

APS Bomet bid $7.0K for Izzadin Juma

Caleb Okoth steps up from the APS Bomet academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Caleb Okoth has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
