Yes, say why also..it's "due to the continued heavy rains" in Machakos. That pitch become almost unplayable last game. Makes sense. It shall host many games in future.


Kwani what kind of turf do premier league teams use for their stadiums?hata ikinyesha aje its still playable...no pudddles of water...hakuna matope...



I suppose they artificial turf like the one at City Stadium.

But to me the solution seems simple. When heavy rains are coming, just put a plastic tarp on top pf the grass to prevent excess rain from soaking the playing surface. Its cheaper than installing French drains.

Kahata reminds me in a way of John "Mo" Muiruri. Best creatives we've had.


Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly ......It's amazing why this two have never thought of trying their luck in netball or any other game played in skirts.Talking of creative midfielders (We have had none worth talking of in the last 15 years although i would rate Charles Kimuyu,formely of Maziwa,Eldoret KCC and Mumias Sugar,very highly),there has been none better than Allan Thigo and Tim Ayieko. The duo,backed by Sammy Owino "Kempes",were,without doubt, a joy to watch and the engine behind the success of K'ogalo in late 70s and early 80s......Hii ingine yote ni malenge tuu.Sad


As with most of those days events, not much on film record to refer to for comparative analysis. Maybe they were.


KBC actually has these videos but they are just stitting on them. Recently I found a very brief video of Abbas Magongo scoring against Esperance of Tunisia. See below.

Magongo had so much class. I wish KBC would share more of these videos so people can see that today's players are jokers compared to kina Magongo, Mulamba, Charles Otieno, Zangi ........

Actually they use natural grass no artificial turf...

Rem when we co-hosted the cricket world cup we got pro groundsmen from S.A to work on the pitch and it was superb the drainage was amazing...when we talk about creating jobs these are some of the areas young people should focus on...

I think the Machakos stadium's grass was grown on top of firm ground without due consideration of drainage. I think the only pitch in Kenya which has a deliberate and top class underground drainage is Mumias Complex
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Ethiopia 2 S.Sudan 0

Kenya will need to beat Zanzibar by three goals to nil in order to top group A. Tall order.

Wanga is now the Captain? WTF?! After the disappointing performance against S.Sudan? This Amrouche douche should be run out of town after we lose the CECAFA.
