KCB FC lose more ground in title race
KCB’s chances of clinching the FKF Premier League title were further dented yesterday after they lost 3-2 to Kakamega Homeboyz at Kasarani Annex.
Playing without utility left back Robinson Kamura, who is serving suspension following the red card he received in a 1-0 beating by Bidco United last weekend, KCB defence was visibly porous in the early exchanges but surprisingly grabbed the lead in the 15th minute through a penalty.
Twenty-five minutes later, Congolese Yema Mwana, a menace to the Bankers defence the whole afternoon, found an opening to give Homeboyz the leveller.
