Trouble is brewing between Football Kenya Federation Women Premier League clubs Bunyore Starlets and Madira Soccer Assassins’ management over division and sharing of gate collections during double header matches at the Mumboha Sports Grounds.In an exclusive interview with Mozzart Sport, Madira Chief Executive Officer Nick Muleri stated that his club was actively involved in the renovation of the stadium upon their promotion to the top tier and had agreed to host double header matches with Bunyore as a way of cutting costs, but the management of Bunyore Starlets has been taking all the gate collections.“We took part in the renovation of Mumboha Stadium, our team provided goal nets and a good sum of money amounting to Ksh 20,000. We agreed with our sisters that we be co-hosting matches in a bid to cut down on the logistical costs, hence we have a share of the revenue collected from match days but it is so uncouth for Bunyore to deny us that under unclear circumstances,” lamented a disappointed Muleri.“I am unable to buy the players refreshments at the end of the game yet our fans travel from Vihiga and pay monies at the entrance only for Bunyore Starlets to pocket everything,” he added.How Kakamega Homeboyz outplayed Shabana in a midfield battleIn a separate interview with Citizen Digital, responding to the claims raised by his Madira counterpart, Bunyore Starlets’ CEO Zachariah Amakhang’a refuted the claims that the two teams should share revenue during double header matches noting that he only facilitates Madira acquire what is needed on match days but they don’t plan anything as a group.“I only facilitate Madira Soccer Assassins to get what is required on the field, but we don’t plan anything together. Mumboha ground is known to be Luanda Villa’s and Bunyore Starlets’ home pitch. How then does Madira want us to share with them the money we collect out of our effort?” Amakhang’a said.“They want to get a share of the money, yet they don’t know the cost we incurred to produce the receipts!” Amakhang’a addedAmakhang’a further disclosed that he had written to the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) to reschedule Madira matches to different days to avoid unnecessary collisions.Meanwhile, Muleri, who oversaw Madira’s promotion to the top-flight league has attributed the team’s slow start to the season to financial problems that they are facing as a club hinting that the players go without food on match days despite being fed with promises upon elevation to the big stage.“The current of performances we can’t blame it on anybody, we have a tough time financially. We had a lot of promises at the start of the season but none has materialled up to now leaving us with nothing to offer the players. These girls go matches on empty stomachs and we expect them to deliver results?”##NAJAVA_MECA_7738461##The CEO is however adamant the team will beat the current turbulence and announce themselves in the league immediately after the festive break.
