Sometime back in April 2023, a dedicated group from the Sports Journalists Association of Kenya (SJAK) temporarily deserted their tools of trade and gathered at the Camp Toyoyo Grounds for a special occasion. Ordinarily, the members of the Fourth Estate would have trooped to the facility with their cameras, microphones and notebooks ready to cover the sporting activity hosted at the Jericho-based venue. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8986502##Follow our WhatsApp channel for more newsHowever, they arrived armed with their kits, boots, gloves, shin pads and the hunger to prove that they are good at the game of football- a sport nearly everyone in the trade covers with ease. The group had been invited to play an exhibition match as part of the launch of the fourth season of the Chapa Dimba na Safaricom tournament, with Mozzart Sport’s Senior Reporter Lynette Matheka among those who took to the pitch. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8986708##The full-time result of the match remains one of the most guarded secrets, although impeccable sources have repeatedly hinted that the press team suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of their opponents. The gatekeeping of the result might have been successful, but not video clips from the game, which exposed strengths and weaknesses of both teams and most importantly, Matheka’s hidden talent.

Initially, we had a single and heavily branded kit, which was not sufficient, considering that we occasionally play two matches in as many days. The donation definitely dignifies our appearance and will inspire us to work harder, ” said the attacking midfielder.
