    Back to seven-point advantage

    After sleeping over on Saturday with a ten-point cushion, Nairobi City Stars advantage atop the National Super League (NSL) dropped down to seven points following games played on Sunday 19 January 2020.

    A 2-0 win over Vihiga Bullets at Camp Toyoyo, Jericho on Saturday left Simba wa Nairobi on 49 points from 20 games, ten off second placed Bidco United.

    But 24 hours later it was status quo after Bidco came from behind at Thika Stadium to see off Migori Youth 2-1 to complete a double this season over their visitors. They had won the first leg 2-0.

    Bidco’s win – that took them to the 42-point mark – saw them open a six point gap over third placed Vihiga United who fell 2-1 to FC Talanta on Sunday at Camp Toyoyo.

    Vihiga United is on 36 points and tied with Nairobi Stima who blew away a 2-0 half time lead on Saturday to draw Kenya Police 2-2 at Camp Toyoyo.

    Ushuru shot to fifth with a 3-2 win over AP Bomet at Toyoyo taking advantage of the falling Migori who are now down to sixth.

    Games continue next weekend with a set of round 22 games across various venues.

    City Stars carries six-point lead to Ushuru clash

    The National Super League (NSL) will enter match day 14 on Wednesday with a total of nine games across various venues.

    In one of the fixtures league leaders Nairobi City Stars will host sixth placed Ushuru at the Hope Centre starting 3pm EAT.

    Heading to that game, City Stars aka Simba Wa Nairobi, with 35 points from 13 games, carries a six-point gap over the chasing pack, and massive 15 points over the visiting Ushuru FC.

    From the last round of games, City Stars stretched their stay atop the league after a lone Ebrima Sanneh penalty in the 74th minute ensured all spoils against FC Talanta at Camp Toyoyo.

    Second placed Nairobi Stima will be at home to Kibera Black Stars at Karuturi grounds on Wednesday. The team consolidated second spot during the last round of games on Friday after seeing off Administration Police (AP) 2-1 at the same venue to hit the 29-point mark.

    Third placed Bidco United will be away to Coast Stima at Mbaraki grounds in Mombasa as fourth placed Vihiga United will sit out the upcoming round following the suspension of games for troubled Northern Wanderers.

    On Friday, Bidco hit Ushuru 2-0 at Camp Toyoyo as Vihiga United managed the same score line over Coast Stima in Mumias with goals from Alex Imbusia and Dennis Wafula in the sixth and 61st minutes, respectively. The results kept Bidco at third with 28 points and just ahead of Vihiga United on goal difference.

    Fifth placed Migori Youth lost a bit of ground in their last fixtures after being held to a 2-2 draw at home by tenth placed Muranga SEAL. They are four points off the chasing pack with 24 points. They will be away to 17th placed Modern Coast Rangers on Wednesday.

    Coach Sanjin calls on fans ahead of Migori clash

    National Super League (NSL) leaders Nairobi City Stars will be against fourth placed Migori Youth in a round 12 clash at the Camp Toyoyo on Saturday 2 November starting 12 noon.

    On 29 points, City Stars has six points on the visiting Migori Youth. Both had a similar run in October having each won four games and drawn once.

    Speaking ahead of the upcoming game City Stars head coach is aware of Migori’s potency but will be banking on recent results to outwit their recent form.

    “It is a difficult task in front of us against a team that has registered good results in their last matches. We have made good scouting and analysis of them though so we will use this week to prepare for that challenge,”

    “We are leaders in table, still unbeatable, with nine wins and two draws. We hope that we will continue with this good performance and good results when we face Migori,”

    “The team has shown great character and determination to win in every match. We play open attacking football, we create many chances and perform well from beginning of Championship so we have right to hope for positive result.” Added the Sarajevo-born tactician

    On shift of venue from Hope Centre to Camp Toyoyo necessitated by weather, the coach is calling on fans to understand and come along to Jericho to cheer the team on.

    “Yes we will play in Toyoyo camp and not in our home ground at Hope Center but I really hope that will not stop our fans to come in large number and be our 12th player in our fight to comeback to Premier league where NCS really belong.” he said

    The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has obliged to City Stars request to host their upcoming clash against Migori Youth on Saturday 2 November 2019 at Camp Toyoyo instead of Hope Centre, Kawangware.

    The shift was necessitated by the deteriorating surface at the Hope centre as witnessed during the last game Fortune Sacco last week on Monday.

    The new details for the upcoming round 12 game as confirmed by FKF are as follows;
