WHAT A FANTASTIC 1ST GAME OF TODAY AGAINST NAIVASHA UTD.
Their coach DENNO has assembled together a really good team, and he told us he would give us a tough game, and boy did they.
So first of all many congratulations to NAIVASHA UTD you boys can go far in your league.
Naivasha Utd took an early lead in the game, but only 5mins later MBURU equalised, then after approx 35 mins Naivasha Utd scored again to lead 1-2, and that was the half time score.
In the 2nd half Naivasha Utd came out all guns blazing and scored a 3rd from a wonderful free-kick, so our coach decided to make a number of substitutions.
On came Captain Jose, Boni, Dante, Dickens and Denno.
Soon afterwards Dante scored to pull it back to 2-3, and shortly afterwards Gathogo scored to level it up to 3-3 which is how the game ended.
The boys have taken a 15min rest, and are now back on the pitch against 11 Stars FC. ... See MoreSee Less

WHAT AN AMAZING DAY.
The day started full of excitement, with nerves and tension, but also in the realisation that opportunities like this dont come along very often.
7 of our team had been chosen to be part of the NAIVASHA ALL STARS squad's to play in 2 games against Kenya's biggest and most successful team ever, GOR MAHIA FC.
To have an idea of GOR MAHIA, they are bigger in Kenya than Manchester United in the UK.
Our day started early as we left Naivasha town to the beautiful green pitch of MARULA FC some 15km from our town centre.
We all knew that good individual performances, could result in trials for our giants.
It had been decided that NAIVASHA ALL STARS would wear the famous red and white kits of SUNDERLAND AFC KEROCHE with fans encouraged to do the same and everywhere you looked around the crowd, you could see SUNDERLAND shirts
In the morning game NAIVASHA ALL STARS took an early lead, then GOR MAHIA drew level, and at half time we were all level at 2-2.
Then early in the 2nd half NAIVASHA ALL STARS took a 3-2 lead, but it was short lived, as GOR MAHIA equalised soon after, and eventually ran out 6-3 winners.
But to score 3 goals against GOR MAHIA, is something that will live long in our memories.
In the afternoon game NAIVASHA ALL STARS once again scored first, but were finally beaten 3-1 against the experience and superior fitness of our peers.
The crowd was littered with dignitaries including our very own MP the Hon, Jayne Kihara, even her right hand man was wearing a Sunderland jersey, and all players had the opportunity to meet and mingle with our GOR MAHIA heroes afterwards.
Thank you to all who made this day possible, and give us something to tell our grandchildren in years to come.
Tomorrow our club have 2 preseason friendly games against NAIVASHA UTD and 11 STARS FC as we strive for full fitness ready for the league season. ... See MoreSee Less

This is a scouting mission by our top team GOR MAHIA, and 7 of our boys have been selected to play in the games.

It is always the main aim of Sunderland AFC KEROCHE to give all our boys the platform to showcase their talents, and hopefully go on to bigger and better things.

WHAT A GREAT START .
In todays big Naivasha pre-season derby friendly against top team BIGOT FC, we cruised to a 5-2 victory.
With 2 goals from our ever reliable striker PHILO, 2 more goals from new striker GATHOGO, and a goal by MESSI.
When last season was curtailed at the mid season point due to covid, BIGOT FC were sitting in 2nd place in the league, and beat us 3-0 in the league, so this is a great confidence booster for our boys.
