KCB FC reclaims social media kingdom after x-rated siege by hackers
After a week of adult content postings by hackers KCB FC has successfully regained control of its Facebook page.
Under the tutelage of coach Jonathan McKinstry, K’Ogalo is keen to bounce back and continue their pursuit of a record 21st league title.
The team’s resolve is stronger than ever following a 1-0 setback against Bandari FC in their previous outing.
With ten matches left in the season, McKinstry’s confidence in his squad remains unshaken, despite the recent defeat.
"Our goal is to win games. We'd been the best team in the league doing that until we lost our match against Bandari. But trophies aren’t given out in February and March, but in May and June,” McKinstry shared as per The Star.

Harambee Stars in peril as court confirms FKF AGM freeze amid FIFA ban threat
The AGM that was supposed to take place three weeks ago in Nairobi was poised to address various pressing matters, with the upcoming FKF elections taking center stage.
Currently leading the FKF Premier League table with 50 points from 24 matches, Gor Mahia enjoys a comfortable seven-point lead over their closest rivals. However, McKinstry insists there is no room for complacency.
"We’ve got tough games coming up, including a match against Homeboyz which is always competitive, and a derby against AFC Leopards. We also have a long trip to Nzoia after the international break," he pointed out, highlighting the challenges ahead.
McKinstry also took the opportunity to critique the playing style of many FKF Premier League teams, which tend to favor aerial balls over ground play. In contrast, Gor Mahia is committed to its philosophy of playing short, precise passes.
"There is a lot of work to be done, but I am happy with what we have achieved so far. We need to polish a few things, like moving the ball into the forward line a little faster,” he explained.
Kakamega Homeboyz, currently seventh in the league with 37 points, pose a significant challenge to Gor Mahia.
