In Summary
- Weekend incident at City Stars shows Hope ground too small for league
Macharia said in the past the ground was manned by less then the 12 policemen whom they had deployed for the match on Sunday.
“Our ground is small but all previous visiting team fans have always conducted themselves well here,” Macharia said.
As World Hope, City Stars have always been sponsored by Christian organisations and the current benefactor is the missionary group Ambassadors in Sport.
Earlier, Leopards had dominated large sections of the match narrowly failing to score when Zimbabwe import Tafadzwa Dondo hit the crossbar with City Stars goalie Victor Omondi well beaten.
In other matches on Sunday, Thika United enjoyed the usual home comfort and began their season with the highest win of the opening weekend, whipping against Bandari 3-0.
Chemelil Sugar shut out Western Stima 1-0 at Chemelil and champions Mathare United could not find their shooting form as they were hold to a 0-0 draw by Sher Karuturi at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani. (kpl.co.ke)
