Goal on Monday. The players have been out for more than a month, then the game has returned and boom! They get competitive back-to-back matches. We might not see an impact immediately but soon after, we might see players getting injuries that will limit them from playing. We will play yes, as scheduled, but it was too soon; players needed about a week more or so to bring their bodies back to competitive matches. Once the workload increases, we will experience real struggles.
Ingwe were last crowned in 1998 and since then, they have failed to get their hands on the league title. It seems things might be different in the ongoing campaign since the 13-time champions are placed third on the table with 29 points. But Juma does not want to speak about it yet.
However, I pushed the opportunity to a younger player [Mwanzia] whom I felt was in a better position and stood a chance to chase a dream. He traveled and tried with Buildcon and [Power] Dynamos but, unfortunately, he did not make the cut.
I rem I got a chance to go to Zambia for a try out but instead pushed the opportunity to a more younger player whom I felt was in a better position & stood a better chance to chase a dream, he traveled & tried out with Buildcon & L Dynamos but unfortunately didn’t make the cut Ronald Okoth (@RonaldOkoth ) May 7, 2021
We enjoy training, playing, being out there in the dugout and that is what makes our job interesting. When you are out without it, you always feel something is not complete. I took it positively, I viewed it as a mid-season break. Every team in the league starts from the same place and the difference will be how everyone worked on their own during the break.
Prior to the break, the Bankers had played 15 matches and collected 30 points in the process.
KCB have managed to get nine wins, three draws, and three losses as well. They had scored 21 goals and conceded 12 in the process.
It was a grave mistake that pushed me to retirement. If I would have stayed in Europe then I would still be playing at 35 or 36 like [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic. I still regret it but I am thankful for what I have managed to achieve.
At Dubai, he made limited appearances before his form dipped and was forced to retire. After four years without competitive football, he opted to return to Kenya and sign for the 19-time Football Kenya Federation Premier League champions Gor Mahia.
His short stint was marred with misunderstandings with the club officials, including the alleged failure to settle his signing-on fee. Despite that, he still managed to score five goals in the 10 appearances he made before opting to walk out.

•His most cherished memory was his maiden appearance for the national team in the African Cup of Nations qualifier against Togo in Lome where Kenya won 2-0.
•His critics thought this being his first match, he d end up being as awkward as a cow on roller skates. He proved them entirely wrong.
As soon as the national team Harambee Stars were done with their last African Cup of Nations qualifier against Togo in Lome, head coach Jacob Ghost Mulee came down on foreign-based players like a ton of bricks.
