The KCB Chronicle

3 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Triumph

Player ratings

December Kisakah, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.84

A mark of 7.84 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Player ratings

Dennis Kweyu goes up and wins it — 7.58

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.58 for the rest of it.

Squad

Apollo Otieno stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Apollo Otieno and KCB agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match

Dennis Kweyu sends KCB past AFC Leopards

It finished 2‑1, and it was Dennis Kweyu’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to KCB.

The terraces

KCB supporters have found a favourite in December Kisakah

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. December Kisakah 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at KCB

Yafeesi Mubiru 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.

Squad

Bonphas Munyasa lets one through his hands

A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.

Transfer targets

KCB ask about Neo Bohloko

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

The dugout

A satisfied Jesse Njeru

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 2‑1, Jesse Njeru could afford to be generous.

In brief
