ERICKSON Kenya Limited re-ignited there hopes of winning the Left Foot Amateur Division One League with a hard fought 1-0 victory over Consolidated Bank over the weekend. It was a great comeback for Ericsson, who had posted a very slow start to Season Six of the amateur football league, especially after taking Division Two by storm and winning it convincingly. Skipper Gavin Khamisi was the team’s hero grabbing the all important goal in the 62nd minute.
In other Division One matches, National Bank recovered from last weekend’s 1-1 draw with fellow bankers NIC to hammer Petra Boys 4-1. Total Touch succumbed 1-2 to Madd FC, Sky Train beat Safaricom 2-0, Vision 2020 was held to a 1-1 draw by Strath FC while NIC Bank went down 0-2 to Frontier Marketing. In Division Two, the highlight of the weekend was between league leaders Mohammed Muigai, who were beaten 2-1 by Kenya Airways Cargo. The defeat puts Mohammed Muigai’s stay at the top of the summit under big threat as second placed Afya Sacco beat South B Mosque 1-0 to close in on the gap. KQ scored through Fred Otieno and Francis Madenge in the 38th and 49th minutes respectively while Francis Ajay notched Muigai’s consolation goal in the opening minutes of the second half.
Hurlingham FC outwitted Outlaws FC 2-0, Astral Aviation lost 0-1 to Bethel FC while Madaraka United humiliated Sunfit Gangsters 5-0. The Division three league witnessed Total Kenya Limited beat Strategic 3-1.
