    Bajaber among four changes against Wazito

    Attacking midfielder Mohammed Hamudi Bajaber has for the first time ever been named to a 20-man squad for a premier league game, as Nairobi City Stars goes up against Wazito FC on Monday 9 May 2022 in Kasarani Annex starting 3 pm.

    The January signing, on loan from Star Field Academy, is one of four changes made from the lot that drew 0-0 with Kenya Police last weekend ahead of the FFK Premier League matchday 29 game.

    Bajaber, in for injured Oliver Maloba, is now in line for his premier league debut should he be handed playtime by head coach Nicholas Muyoti in the upcoming game

    Other than Bajaber, the other three incoming players include defensive-mid Charles Chale Otieno, stopper Salim Shitu Abdalla and forward Davis Beast Agesa.

    Shitu, out for the last two games against Sofapaka and Police, is in for Lennox Ogutu who takes a rest after featuring in the last ten straight games.

    Chale, who sat out the Sofapaka and Police games, is back in place of Rowland Makati as Agesa returns after missing the last game to take up John Kamau’s position.

  • Agesa believes he’s sharper now, thanks fans for their support

    Agesa believes he’s sharper now, thanks fans for their support

    Marauding forward Davis Beast Agesa is excited about his progressive step-up from season start, where he had an injury, to a point he’s hitting the full revs.

    Agesa, City Stars top assist provider last season, has so far featured in 15 of the 17 games played this season and has registered a goal and two assists while largely operating as an offensive player.

    “Personally, my graph wasn’t consistent for the first part of the season majorly because I missed the pre-season due to hamstring injury. Coupled with rehab, I was struggling with my fitness. With games coming in thick and fast, it gave room to accumulation of fatigue. But I push and I give 100% every time I don the City Stars jersey,”

    “I can say that for the last four matches I’ve felt sharper and at the same level that I was the previous season. I now march on and keep the concentration with a desire for more knowing what I can give to my team,”

    Beyond his own progress, Agesa has come out to thank fans for all their support this season.

    “Thanks to our supportive fans who give us the strength to go out there to do our best and to work even harder. It’s been an interesting season so far as denoted by our current (second) position on the table. Come the end of the season I believe we will achieve something special and our fans will be proud of us.” he added

    Agesa has started in 12 games and has gone on to clock 875 minutes.

    Muyoti talks up fightback against Homeboyz

    Nairobi City Stars head coach Nicholas Muyoti has termed the comeback led to a 4-4 draw in a top-drawer clash with home team Kakamega Homeboyz on Thursday 20 January 2022 in Bukungu as simply awesome.

    City Stars were on the back foot in the mano-a-mano and trailed the game by two goals on three different occasions but Simba wa Nairobi clawed back to force even- stevens.

    By the 23rd minute City Stars were down 2-0 from Brian Eshihanda’s 15th-minute header and a David Okoth penalty. By the 38th minute, Simba wa Nairobi was sinking 3-1 after Homeboy skipper Moses Mudavadi had restored the two-goal cushion.

    On 53 minutes, Simba wa Nairobi was trailing the game 4-2 after Okoth planted home his second spot-kick.

    Defensive-mid Sven Yidah then initiated City Stars comeback with a header off at Timothy Babu Ouma cross on 31 minutes to halve the scores to 2-1. Babu then had the ball in the net ten minutes later with his fourth goal of the season for the scoreboard to read 3-2 at halftime.

    Then City Stars twin substitutes Erick Ombija and Davis Agesa, in for forward Ezekiel ODera and skipper Anthony Muki Kimani, took charge scoring the goals that drew Simba wa Nairobi level in the 80th and 84th minutes.

    Muyoti, the immediate former Homeboyz coach, appreciated the claw-back from his troops on duty but pointed out some weak areas that need to be rectified before the reverse tie against the same side on Monday 24 January in Ruaraka.

    “The boys showed very good character, a never say die attitude. That was awesome!”

    “At times we had one touch too many allowing Homeboyz to win the ball in our half, we lost many balls and didn’t get the ball upfront at the right moment. We have to work on our build-up and transition immediately both ways,” he added

    Following the draw in the top-table clash, both Homeboyz and City Stars maintained spots one and two in the 18-team log with 32 and 27-points, respectively.
