Muluya cries foul over league fixtures

Players have been forced to bear the brunt of long exhaustive travels by road to honour fixtures spread in far-flung towns. With round eight fixtures slated for this weekend, most teams would have played three matches in a span of seven days.

This comes in the wake of the decision by the sports stadia management board to close the stadia in Nairobi for renovation.

Speaking in Machakos after their hard-fought 1-0 win over Thika United, Sharks coach William Muluya, said congested fixtures were taking a toll on the players.

“The matches are not easy to win. We play many matches within few days and getting three points in the exhaustion is encouraging,” said Muluya.

Commenting on their recent form, Sharks midfielder Osbourne Monday added: “It has not been easy as most of the young players are struggling to settle in the league but with time, they will soon get the hung of it.”
