Match22 Aug 2026

Nowhere to hide for APS Bomet

0‑3 against Gor Mahia, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

APS Bomet go back to the board over Hassan Beja

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $398.8K — a club that wants Hassan Beja enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

The paperwork begins on Dalphine Omuri

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. APS Bomet have done the hard part with Shabana, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

APS Bomet bid $360.0K for Hassan Beja

The offer went to AFC Leopards 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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A falling-out at APS Bomet

Hillary Otieno and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Kenya Police tell APS Bomet: Brian Musa is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

Doors closed at APS Bomet

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

The dugout24 Aug 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑3 defeat, delivered by Francis Nyakeya to a room that had heard them before.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at APS Bomet training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Edward Masembe is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match12 Aug 2026

APS Bomet bow out of the cup

Nairobi United go through and APS Bomet go home, 0‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Market17 Aug 2026

APS Bomet turn down Mara Sugar for Dominic Kipkirui

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at APS Bomet

Hillary Otieno 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 targets17 Aug 2026

APS Bomet rebuffed over Mark Bikokwa

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Ulinzi Stars have kept their man, and APS Bomet go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match15 Aug 2026

APS Bomet see off Bandari

Three points for APS Bomet, 2‑1 the final word against Bandari in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Market17 Aug 2026

Eyes on Cosmas Abuta again

The phone has started ringing about Cosmas Abuta again, and this time the name on the line is Bidco United. APS Bomet are listening politely and promising nothing.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Evans Mwirigi ran the middle of the pitch — 6.58

He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 9 combined actions and a mark of 6.58, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Evans Kipkemoi takes the honours

Marked 7.53 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, APS Bomet had the best player on the pitch.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

APS Bomet ask about Brian Musa

A loan enquiry to Kenya Police: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • The dugout Delton Oyo gets it from the manager
  • The dugout No place in the plan for Hillary Otieno

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Mark Bikokwa will not be coming to APS Bomet

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Ulinzi Stars is saying, and nobody at APS Bomet is enjoying the guessing.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Hillary Otieno 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 APS Bomet this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market10 Aug 2026

Peter Muguna steps up from the APS Bomet academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Peter Muguna 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Clinton Odhiambo joins the APS Bomet first team

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

Market10 Aug 2026

Nicholas Njeru steps up from the APS Bomet academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Nicholas Njeru 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Eric Masika steps up from the APS Bomet academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Eric Masika 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.

Match8 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for APS Bomet against Mathare United

0‑1 to Mathare United, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

Francis Nyakeya answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Maxwell Kubasu

“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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Hillary Otieno signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Hillary Otieno and APS Bomet agree another 2 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at APS Bomet

Hillary Otieno 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.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Door shut on Akpos Godbless

APS Bomet asked and Bayelsa United said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match1 Aug 2026

Sofapaka take the points off APS Bomet

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market3 Aug 2026

Dominic Kipkirui attracts admirers

The name of Dominic Kipkirui has come up in conversations APS Bomet were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Francis Nyakeya answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Enock Wanyama beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 15. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

A loan move for Mark Bikokwa is in the works

APS Bomet have made the call to Ulinzi Stars. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

A loan move for Dalphine Omuri is in the works

APS Bomet have made the call to Shabana. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
