When all is said and done, when we are old and worn out, telling exaggerated tales of our great times to whoever would care to listen, memories of 2015 will probably be restricted to those two or three months, when the Lion reigned supreme! If they do have the internet then, and this space is […]

Wammamy Carries The Day

This past weekend, Edgar made sure that my poor run here kept going as he inflicted a third loss in as many rounds. I have now gone 4 rounds without a win. 1 draw, 3 losses. This end of year break couldn’t have come sooner. I clearly need time out to consult my daktari. Here […]

Aleckie On Head To Head

Meet Aleckie Ronald or Sir Alexas as he dreams of one day being called, a true sprorts junkie. By day he apparently works at Radio Africa. It must have a real rewarding job, judging by the number of groupies he attracts during rugby weekends. The Nakuru die hard is one of the few people I […]

Quins Stun Kabras To Go Fourth

The Kenya Harlequin produced a gritty performance to edge out the pre-match favourites Kabras 19-17 in the highlight of Kenya Cup match day 2 action. Most had given Quins little chance against their revered opponents, the opening stages of the match stuck to this script. Kabras dominating both the territory and possession stats in the […]

New Look Kenya Cup Enters Match Day 2

I will start by admitting that I am not the biggest fan of the new look Kenya cup. The new system that sees the 14 teams split into two pools of 7, playing home and away fixtures within the pools and one fixture against the other pool, is confused to say the least. But being […]
