The promotion chasing Fortune Sacco bounced back to winning ways after humbling Silibwet Leons 2-0 at the Kianyaga Grounds on Saturday.Fortune had gone for three matches without a win prior to the game, a rough patch that saw them surrender the top spot to their rivals, APS Bomet.However, Nicodemus Omasete’s charges are back to the summit following the win that took their tally to 37, similar to that of Bomet but their healthier goal difference gives them an edge.Fortune who may remain at the helm should APS Bomet fall to Vihiga United on Sunday got the three points courtesy of goals from Dennis Kariuki and Yusuf Ochieng.Fortune Sacco’s Team Manager Julius Kariuki has called on the Caretaker Committee to quickly wire moneys to clubs across all leagues saying many teams are almost getting buried in financial burden. pic.twitter.com/yDDSOmGsgV— Geoffrey Mwamburi (@bekimwamburi) April 8, 2022 Former top flight side Zoo FC enhanced their chances of promotion after thrashing the sorry Dandora Love 3-1 at Camp Toyoyo grounds.Zoo who have now won four successive matches had their goals through Derrick Anami, Danson Kiprono and Kepha Ondati. Mombasa Elite extended their recent good run after narrowly edging debutants Mara Sugar 1-0 at the Awendo Green Stadium.Another failed kick off at the St Sebastien Park in Muranga Elsewhere the league game pitting Murang’a Seal and Coastal Heroes that was supposed to be played at the St.Sebastian Park did not take place after the visitors failed to travel.According to Heroes team manager Ken Onukho, they elected to give the match a wide berth after the Football Kenya Federation Caretaker Committee failed to respond to their email that sought answer to the security at the Park.Onukho based his argument to an earlier incident where referees failed to show up in a league encounter that was supposed to bring Seal and Naivas together at the Park.”We did not see the need to travel since the committee did not assure us whether there will be referees on the ground. We did an email and unfortunately, we did not their response,” he said.In a rejoinder, the committee’s head of referees Titus Kasuve laid the blame at the club’s doorstep for failing to play their part.”Their complain is neither here nor there. They would have had the right to ask questions had they traveled and failed to find the officials on the pitch,” he said.Kasuve however remained tight-lipped on whether the officials made their way to the pitch amid reports that they did not have a representative in the pre-match briefing.
