However, immediately at the restart, the visitors (Bristol) responded with a triple substation that reignited the game.In the 57th minute, Nakhi Wells who had replaced Tommy Conway earlier in the game, broke the deadlock for the Liam Manning-coached side which they held on to see the rest of the match as winners despite losing Andy King to an injury.The win not only elevated Bristol to 12th on the log with 53 points but also took Onyego’s clean sheets tally to eight in 33 matches topping it up with two goals this term.Back to back wins with the boys 😮💨🥰 pic.twitter.com/3fHxBtnWs3— Tommy Conway (@tommyconway__) April 1, 2024 Elsewhere, Kenya Under 20 hopeful Zech Obiero was not on the match day squad as his side Leyton Orient succumbed to a 2-1 defeat at home to Peterborough United in A League One match held on Easter Monday.Hector Kyprianou and Ephron Mason Clark scored for the visitors while Ethan Galbraith bagged a consolation for Orient.Obiero, who was tipped to link up with the Rising Stars in Malawi but failed due to travel logistics, has not featured for Leyton since their 1-0 win over Stevenage at the start of March and interestingly, the team has not won a match since then.Joseph Okumu lands multiple accolades in FranceIn Ireland, 23-year-old Kenyan striker Wilson Waweru was introduced in the 46th minute as his side Sligo Rovers went down 3-0 to St Patrick’s in an Ireland Premier Division match played at the Inchicore Stadium.Waweru who before the match got a lot of praise from Coach John Russell was introduced with the team trailing by two goals thanks to a first-half brace from Luke Turner.However, the speedy forward was unable to rescue even a consolation for Rovers as Mason Melia’s 86th-minute strike for Patrick’s took the game far from their reach ending their fairytale start to the season.Rovers remain second on the Primer Division table with 12 points after eight games 8 points behind leaders Shelbourne.In a separate interview with Ireland’s Independent coach, Russell hailed Waweru’s versatility as a striker, appreciating his ability to create space and take on defenders with agility.”When he faces defenders up, he can shift the ball and go by them quickly,” Russell added. “He’s got that directness and pace about him to run in behind.”Gor Mahia raid Tusker for left back Levin OdhiamboIntroducing: ONYEGOThe @ZakVyner1 range is available online and in-store now! 🛍️ pic.twitter.com/vMYBQ7pSdt— Bristol City FC (@BristolCity) March 27, 2024
