For the first time in many matches, Kenyan fans were all smiles as they left Kasarani Stadium after watching a new-look national team, Harambee Stars put in a spirited performance to battle back from a goal down to draw 1-1 with Uganda Cranes in Sunday’s international friendly match.

Though Stars drew, it is their never-say-die attitude and confidence from the team largely made up of local-based players with six debutants that restored some faith and hope in the hearts of many supporters.
