Expelled Sportpesa Premier League outfit Zoo Kericho received a consolation token when midfielder Michael Madoya was crowned player of the months June/July.
Madoya found favour among sports journalists ahead of team mate Nicholas Kipkirui, Sofapaka’s Ezekiel Okare and John Mwita of Chemelil Sugar.
The skilful midfielder bagged a 49-inch LG television set and Sh100,000 for his heroics while the rest of the squad shared Sh50,000. “I have played for a very long time but this is the first award I’m getting. It comes at a time when things are not good for the club and I hope it’s the beginning of better tidings for Zoo.” the 26 year-old said.
His midfield mastery helped the top flight debutants grind six points from draws with Kariobangi Sharks, Mathare United, Kakamega Homeboyz and victory over Chemelil Sugar. He polled 27 followed by Okare who garnered 25 while Kipkirui and Mwita polled 14. [Phillip Orwa]
