Silibwet pulled the upset of the weekend after edging out National Super League (NSL) leaders Kenya Police 1-0 in the round 11 matches played over the weekend in Bomet.

Denis Cheruiyot scored in the first half to hand Dilibwet their fourth win of the campaign.

The win saw them move to the mid-table from 15 to ninth with 15 points as leaders Police failed to pull away after all the top four teams failed to register wins.

After the loss, Police remain top with 22 points, three ahead of FC Talanta who lost by a solitary goal to Coast Stima in Mombasa.

Nairobi Stima moved into third place after edging out former Premier League outfit Kisumu All-Stars 2-1 at Camp Toyoyo.
