National Super League match between Murang’a Seal and Shabana set for Saturday this week at St. Sebastian Park has been put on hold until a further date.This will be the third match in a row pitting Murang’a Seal that is being postponed, their match against Naivas earlier in the month at the same venue having failed to take place and their trip to Muhoroni being of no use as referees failed to show up for the match against Muhoroni Youth, their last match in the league coming on March 6, 2022.Reports have been rife that the Football Kenya Federation Caretaker Committee is considering banning the venue from hosting second-tier matches, claiming the club has failed to put in place measures to curb hooliganism.St. Sebastian Park, home to National Super League side, Murang’a Seal is likely to be banished from hosting league matches.M-Seal will have to find a new home with Thika Sub-County Stadium an option.#NSL pic.twitter.com/0jAbiwIGCB— Ole Teya (@Kevin_teya) March 24, 2022 In a letter to Murang’a Seal and Shabana, the league’s management noted that the said match was being postponed as the match venue was still under review.”Kindly note that the 2021-22.FKF National Super League Season Match Number 179 between Murang’a Seal and Shabana which was scheduled to be played on Saturday, March 27, 2022, at St. Sebastian Park in Murang’a, kick-off 3 pm, has been postponed as the status of match venue (St. Sebastian Park) is still under review,” the letter read.This is not the first time that the FKF Caretaker Committee is at loggerheads with the Murang’a-based side as it handed them a blow in their quest for top tier football after docking them three points just over a week ago for abandoning their match against Zoo FC on grounds that the latter did not avail an ambulance for the match in good time.The National Super League match between Murang’a Seal and Naivas FC that was to be staged at the St. Sebastien Park in Murang’a was not played as match referees failed to show up.This is a new one.#NSL pic.twitter.com/PTjMCALMwP— Ole Teya (@Kevin_teya) March 12, 2022 The match in question was to take place on Sunday 9 January at the Kericho Green Stadium with Zoo FC being the home team but they failed to provide a well-equipped ambulance as Murang’a opted to sit out of the match.As a result, Murang’a Seal have fallen down the pecking order to currently sit eighth on the log and could drop out of the top half of the table after this weekend’s matches.
