Congratulations to Sofapaka on beating Posta Rangers in the GOtv Shield final in Nakuru last weekend. It was a game of two halves, a downpour occurring in the second half that denied the fans a chance to see quality football.

The win guaranteed the club two slots to play continental football: the Confederations Cup and Nile Basin Trophy. It will be interesting to see how they handle the two competitions, and remember Sofapaka are the only club to beat an Egyptian team in a continental tie.
