    Wycliffe Omondi in WK16 TOTW

    Ambipedal defender Wycliffe Awiko Omondi was named to the team of the week (TOTW) after matchday 16 games in the 2023/24 FKF Premier League games that concluded on Friday 22 December 2023.

    Awiko was the hero after his lone goal handed visiting Nairobi City Stars a 1-0 win – the first-ever away win over Kakamega Homeboyz – at Bukhungu Stadium.

    Awiko slammed home a rebound a minute after the hour mark after getting to the end of a spilled ball by keeper James Ssetuba.

    Awiko’s maiden goal earned him the Man of the Match (MOM) award, and ultimately a place in MD16 TOTW.

    It is the second time that Omondi has appeared in the TOTW following his maiden appearance at the end of MD14 – together with Mohammed Bajaber – following a 1-0 win over Bandari in Ruaraka.

    Robinson Asenwa’s lone goal within the first three minutes is all Nairobi City Stars needed to see off visiting Bandari 1-0 during an FKF Premier League matchday 14 clash in Ruaraka, Nairobi, on Saturday 9 December 2023.

    Asenwa got to the end of a perfect Mohammed Bajaber layup before a quick control and shot on the turn that went in at the near post to the surprise of Bandari keeper Joseph Ochuka.

    The win sent Simba wa Nairobi up to the 21-point mark, and up two places to seventh place in the 18-team log.

    Keeper Mukolwe was later named the match MVP, and later earned a place in the team of the week alongside stopper Wycliffe Awiko Omondi, and flyer Bajaber who, separately, was nominated for Player of the Week.

    Next up for City Stars is an away game to Ulinzi Stars at the Ulinzi Complex on Sunday 17 December 2023, starting at 3 p.m.

    MD30: Nairobi City Stars 1 Bandari 1

    Levis Okello’s strike in the 59th minute canceled out Abdalla Hassan’s 47th-minute goal to earn Nairobi City Stars a vital point from a matchday 30 FKF Premier League tie in Ruaraka on Sunday 14 May 2023.

    Hassan sneaked to the far post to bundle home a cross ball from the right that was not attended to while Okello slammed home a rebound off the pole from an Edwin Buliba shot to salvage a point just as he had done in the last game against Ulinzi.

    With an added point, Simba wa Nairobi improves to the 30-point mark to sit 15th as Bandari improved to the 48-point mark to stay sixth.

    Next up for City Stars is an away game to AFC Leopards on Sunday 28 May 2023 in Nyayo Stadium starting at 3 p.m.
