Superb Kaseja takes Stars to finals ..To face Ivory Coast in the final tomorrow

By ABDALLAH MSUYA, 10th December 2010 @ 12:00, Total Comments: 0, Hits: 432

JUMA Kaseja's wonderful penalty save saw Kilimanjaro Stars booking their place to the Cecafa Tusker Challenge Cup final for the first time in eight years, after beating Uganda Cranes 5-4 in post match penalty shoot-outs.

It was simply the best game that deserved the tag ‘clash of the titans' as both teams took the game cautiously and made it difficult for each other to score, forcing the game to into extra 30 minutes.

Stars will now face guest side Ivory Coast, who bundled out Ethiopia, beating them 1-0 in the first semifinal clash at the same venue.

Kaseja guessed right to parry off fourth penalty taken by industrious Tonny Mawejje's low spot kick to bring Cranes' dreams of making seven consecutive final match and 29th overall since the inception of the competition to a dramatic end.

And, Erasto Nyoni stepped up to slot in the very important and decisive penalty sparking wild celebrations from the frenzied fans.

With a lot of pressure behind him Nyoni kept his nerves to slot the fifth penalty with ease. Isaack Esinde, Godfrey Walusimbi, Emmanuel Okwi and Andy Mwesigwa converted their penalties for Uganda Cranes,

while Stars' Shadrack Nsajigwa, Stephano Mwasika, Shaaban Nditi, and Salum Machaku converted their penalties.

Prior to the game on Friday, Uganda Cranes the 11-time champions had not lost a game in Cecafa since 2008, recording 16 wins.

Stars started promisingly and wing wizard Mrisho Ngasa hit the side netting after being released down the right side by Nditi.

In the 25th minute Isinde deflected Nsajigwa's cross to his own goal, but he was lucky as Andy Mwesigwa reacted quickly to clear from the goal line.

Stars wasted another clear chance in the 39th minute, when Ngasa made a good run into the box, but his inviting cross across the goal went begging.

Uganda's best chance came after 48th minute when Mwesigwa's header struck against the crossbar.

Stars defence marshalled by Juma Nyoso and Kelvin Yondan put Okwi and co under police marking, limiting the Cranes to fewer chances.

Meanwhile guest side and one of the Africa's soccer power house Ivory Coast put the political stand off back home aside to march into the final of the Cecafa Tusker Challenge Cup with a 1-0 over Ethiopia.

Kipre Tchetche once again came from off the bench to net the winning goal for the Elephants in the 71st minute.

He was introduced at the restart to replace Kone Assane. The first half had ended in a barren draw, as both sides failed to convert a few scoring chances.

The Ivory Coast team created more scoring chances, even hitting the cross bar once. In the 57th minute goalie Jemal Bushera made superb save to deny Kone Zoumana.

But Ethiopia came calling in the 73rd minute when Adene Girma could have drew the parity for Ethiopia but his dipping header sailed inches away.

The Ivorians ought to have doubled the lead in the 79th minute but Tchetche struck the wood work with well taken shot. Kone Zouma missed a glorious chance with five minutes to go after he was set clear by Tchetche from the right flank.

The Walias, as the Ethiopian team is known as, have exceeded fans' expectations by reaching the semi-final stage.

The Horn of Africa boys will play Uganda for 3rd place finish and $10,000 prize money on Sunday.

Cecafa tourneys benefit sponsors - Musonye


By ANDREW ORYADA, 10th December 2010 @ 12:00, Total Comments: 0, Hits: 121

THE Council for East and Central Africa Football Associations (Cecafa) Secretary General Nicholas Musonye, has called upon more sponsors in the region to support their tournaments because they stand to benefit more than they have sowed.

Speaking to the ‘Daily News' in an interview in Dar es Salaam on Thursday night, Musonye said any serious sponsor would now invest in supporting regional football, because the mileage in return is big in-terms of the visibility across the media in a public relations sense.

"Today we have the cable pay TV SuperSport covering our tournaments and this basically creates awareness in the whole continent and therefore, sponsors benefiting immensely.

"All the 26 matches of the 2010 Cecafa Tusker Challenge Cup are being covered by SuperSport and some local TV's around the region and therefore, the sponsors now are benefiting in a big way," Musonye said.

The Cecafa official thanked East African Breweries Limited (EABL), through their Tusker brand, who injected US$450,000 into this years' tournament that he said, is so far proving to be one of the best tournaments organised, with more action packed than any other in the region's history.

"We encourage many other companies to follow the example of EABL to support many of our tournaments because gone are the days when you got very minimum mileage," said Musonye.

However, as he called upon sponsors to come on board to promote the football in the region which will eventually spill over and give them bigger visibility, Musonye cautioned the football leaders in the respective member countries to also work so hard in marketing the game better.

"Don't leave all the work to Cecafa. Try to position your selves back home so that the sponsors come flocking in so that it helps the region in the long run," said Musonye.

Besides EABL who are the major sponsors of the 2010 Senior Challenge Cup, they have also partnered with Airtel, Vodacom and United Against Malaria (UAM).

The regional body has in the past struggled to get sponsors to support their events like the Senior Challenge Cup, U-20 Championships and the Kagame Club Championships, which is partly sponsored by the President of Rwanda Paul Kagame, who injects US$60,000 for prize money.

Martina Navratilova suspends Kilimanjaro climb


By DAILY NEWS Reporter/Agencies, 10th December 2010 @ 12:00, Total Comments: 0, Hits: 119

TENNIS legend Martina Navratilova has suspended her first attempt to climb Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania after feeling unwell on the fourth day of the ascent.

Martina was assisted down the mountain by porters and driven to the nearby Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC) for assessment. She was in good spirits as she left the campsite at Horombo, but disappointed to have to leave the mountain.

Martina, who was leading a team of 27 climbers to raise funds for the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation charity, had reached 4,500 metres during the day, the highest point of the climb so far.

The Laureus team have had to face unseasonal weather of blizzards and mists over the last few days. The climb began on Monday and she was due to reach the summit on Saturday.

The rest of the team are continuing with the climb. Earlier on Thursday, which was a day four of her ascend, Martina wrote on her blog: "Today we have headed south towards Horombo, crossing the dramatic and windswept Saddle, a barren plain of alpine desert between Mawenzi and Kibo, Kilimanjaro's two peaks.

"The weather is a little better, but the going is getting tougher and tougher. It seems to be constantly steep and as we started to approach the highest point yet, 4,500 metres above sea level, sheer exhaustion sets in for much of the group and with heavy legs and chests pounding due to lack of oxygen, every step becomes an effort.

"We followed a path stretching out ahead of us where we were supposed to enjoy breathtaking views of the mountain, but the swirling cloud is limiting that. "After reaching 4,500 metres, we were thankful to start heading down towards the Horombo campsite, at 3,700 metres, providing the opportunity for much needed rest and a chance to acclimatise.

"We have two days to go before we reach the summit and the group's mood is fluctuating between exhaustion and exhilaration. It has been tougher than I imagined, but that is when everyone has come together to support each other," she said on her blog.

Navratilova, a member of the Laureus World Sports Academy was attempting to scale the 5,895m peak, Africa's highest free standing mountain with a team of fundraisers including German Paralympic cyclist Michael Teuber and British badminton player Gail Emms.

Martina, who battled breast cancer earlier this year, is raising funds for the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, a charity which supports community sports projects around the world, which have helped to improve the lives of over one million young people.

John Tegete: Viongozi wa michezo wanaharibu soka

Imeandikwa na Grace Chilongola, Mwanza; Tarehe: 10th December 2010 @ 23:59

"VIONGOZI wa michezo ndio wanaoharibu michezo ya soka kwa sababu ya kuingiza maslahi yao binafsi badala ya kuendeleza soka nchini," hiyo ni kauli ya mwalimu na kocha wa klabu ya Mwanza United, John Tegete anapoelezea changamoto ya mchezo wa soka hapa nchini.

Anasema fomu za maombi ya viongozi zizingatie historia ya mwombaji ili watu wenye sifa waweze kushika nafasi hizo na baadaye matunda ya mchezo wa soka hapa nchini yaweze kuonekana.

Waamuzi wa ligi ya daraja la kwanza ngazi ya Taifa ni bomu na alitupa lawama kwa Shirikisho la Soka Tanzania (TFF), kushindwa kuwatumia waamuzi wa Ligi Kuu wakati wapo wengi hadi wengine hawapati mechi za kuchezesha.

Anasema vijana wengi hapa wanaocheza soka hapa nchini hawana umakini na hii imesababisha mpira wa miguu kuyumba pamoja na walimu wao, inawezekana imesababishwa na serikali kuondoa michezo shuleni.

Pia anasema vijana hujiona mastaa mapema na kukimbilia kuchezea timu za nje kabla hawajakomaa hivyo kuua vipaji vyao mapema japo wapo ambao mafanikio yao yameonekana.

Lakini anaamini katika kipindi cha miaka mitatu hadi minne michezo itarejea katika hali ya kawaida baada ya michezo shuleni kuruhusiwa tena. Tegete anasema changamoto nyingine katika mchezo wa soka hapa nchini ni pamoja na wachezaji kukosa motisha hivyo kuiomba TFF iangalie hilo ili kuboresha uchezaji wa wanamichezo.

Tegete ambaye kitaaluma ni Bwana Shamba anaeleza kilichomsukuma na kuingia kwenye soka anasema aliupenda tangu akiwa mtoto ambapo alianza kucheza soka kati ya miaka ya 1970 hadi 1983.

Kazi ya ukocha alianza kuifanya mwaka 1984 baada ya kupata mafunzo ya stashahada ya juu. Alichezea timu mbalimbali zikiwemo za mkoani Lindi, klabu ya Balimi, Pamba United na Pamba ya Mwanza.

Anasema kwa kuwa alikuwa mwajiriwa wa mamlaka ya Pamba ambayo kwa sasa ndio Bodi ya Pamba kama bwana shamba alipata nafasi ya kuchezea timu katika mikoa mbalimbali kutokana na uhamisho aliokuwa akiupata.

Aliwezaje kuugawa muda wa mwajiri na kucheza mpira? Anasema timu nyingi wakati huo zilikuwa zinamilikiwa na taasisi na wakati huo ligi zilikuwa ni fupi tofauti na sasa na zilikuwa zikifanyika kimkoa na kanda na hatimaye Taifa.

Anawashukuru wafanyakazi wenzake wa wakati huo kwani walimpa moyo na ushirikiano uliowezesha ushindi wa mara kwa mara wa timu alizokuwa akichezea. Katika timu zote zinazocheza ligi kuu kuna vijana wapatao wanane ni matunda ya mafunzo yake na hii ni moja ya jambo analoweza kujivunia kwenye jamii ya Watanzania hivyo anapowaona wanafanya vizuri kwenye mchezo wa soka hupata faraja.

Pia anajivunia kuwaendeleza kielimu baadhi ya wachezaji wa soka baada ya kuonyesha bidii zao katika masomo. "Unajua unapocheza mpira ni lazima uwe na elimu na sio kujikita mchezoni bila kuwaza elimu kwani kuna leo na kesho unaweza kuhitajika kwenye michezo na timu za kimataifa ukashindwa kwa kukosa elimu ya kutosha," anasema Tegete.

Wanafunzi watano amewasomesha katika sekondari ya Makongo ya jijini Dar es Salaam na wapo waliomaliza hadi kidato cha sita na kuchaguliwa kwenye vyuo mbalimbali hapa nchini.

Akijibu swali la mwanawe Jerry kufuata nyayo zao katika soka, Tegete anafafanua kuwa ni kweli mwanawe anapenda mpira na amekuwa akimpatia mawazo ya kiuchezaji na vilevile umuhimu wa shule kutokana na umri wake kuwa bado mdogo.

Kwa sasa Tegete mbali na kuwa kocha pia ni Meneja wa Uwanja wa CCM Kirumba ambao umekuwa ukitumiwa katika mechi mbalimbali za ndani na nje ya nchi. Anasema viwanja vingi vipo chini ya chama cha siasa na sio serikali ambayo ina wataalamu wengi wa kila fani.

Viwanja vya michezo kikiwemo cha CCM Kirumba vinahitaji mabadiliko makubwa ya miundombinu, ambayo bado hayajafanyika kutokana na kukosekana kwa wataalamu. Anasema anachokifanya kama Meneja wa uwanja ni utunzaji wa nyasi ambapo taratibu za uchezaji umeandaliwa ili ziweze kustawi.

Anasema wakati wa kiangazi zaidi ya Sh milioni moja zimekuwa zikitumika kwa ajili ya utunzaji wa nyasi ili uwanja uweze kuwa na mandhari nzuri. Anawashauri wazazi kuwaangalia watoto wao wanahitaji nini na sio kuwalazimisha kile wanachohitaji wao kwani kila fani ina faida zake na mwelekeo chanya.

Wachezaji wametakiwa kufuata miiko na utaratibu na lazima wajiandae binafsi kisaikolojia kabla mwalimu kuwaandaa kwani mpira ni afya na fedha. Tegete ni mzaliwa wa mkoa wa Ruvuma wilayani Mbinga, ambapo kwa sasa ni mwajiriwa wa Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM).

Wengi wanamkumbuka Imam Abbas kwa kibao chake matata cha Bila Sanaa, ambacho kinaelezea matatizo mbalimbali ya vijana nchini mwetu. Imam Abbas anayo heshima kubwa sana kwa wapenzi wa bongofleva.

Ukizungumzia Abbas moja kwa moja unamtaja Ahmed Dola, na kinyume chake. Ukizungumzia Joseph Mbilinyi ‘Mr II' unamzungumzia Ahmed Dola. Katika orodha ya wakongwe wa Hip hop nchini, basi mwanamuziki huyu anaweza kuwa miongoni mwake.

Kundi ambalo anastahili Dola ni Sugu, Afande Sele, Imam Abbas, Brian Haule, Sos B, Saleh Jabir, GK, D Rob(marehemu), Big Willy,Terry Msiagi ‘Fanani' na wengineo. Ahmed Dola ni mashuhuri kwa jina la Balozi Dola Soul ‘Balozi Wenu', ni mmoja wa wanamuziki nguli kabisa katika tasnia ya Bongofleva.

Sauti walizojaliwa tunaweza kuzifananisha na uzito wa sauti za DMX au Busta Rhymes wa Marekani. Lakini kitu kinachomtambulisha Balozi Dola Soul ni kasi ileile ya wimbo wake unapoanza hadi kwisha. Akiimba kiitikio utaona uzito wake.

Je, Ahmed Dola alianza wapi muziki? Alianza muziki akiwa na kundi lake la The Deplomatz ambalo lilikuwa likipiga hip hop za zamani, katika Old Skul hip hop unaweza kuwakumbuka akina Ice T na KRS One. Dola akiwa na kundi hilo walifanikiwa kutoa santuri ya ‘Deplowmatz' mnamo mwaka 1997, huku kibao chao matata cha ‘Maisha' kikitamba na kuwapatia mialiko mbalimbali.

Mafanikio hayo yalilifanya kundi lake kutwaa tuzo ya kundi bora la rap mnamo mwaka 1999. Baada ya hapo alianza kufanya kazi zake binafsi na kufanikiwa kutoa santuri yake ya kwanza mwaka 2000 ambayo aliita ‘Balozi Wenu'. Hakuchoka, akawapatia tena ujumbe na ladha mashabiki wake mwaka 2002 kwa kutoa santuri ya Ubalozini.

Kati ya vibao vilivyotamba ni Kwenye Chati, ambao kiitikio chake kilikuwa hivi; Wengi walikuwepo, Sasa hivi wako wapi, wako wapi, Balozi bado nipo, Ninapanda kwenye chati, kwenye chati, Nashika ile ile, moja nambaaa, natamba!!

Nina hakika kila mwaka nitabaki kwenye chatiii Nashika ile ile, moja nambaaa, natamba!! Ukisikiliza uzito wa sauti na mpangilio wa ala uliofanywa ni moja ya mambo yanayovutia kumsikiliza mwanamuziki huyu.

Katika santuri zake utaona kwamba anazungumzia sana jamii yake, anajaribu kuelimisha kwa kiwango bora ndiyo maana anastahili kuitwa Balozi Dola Soul. Aligusa kila rika na akaheshimika zaidi. Kibao kingine ni Nani na Nani. Kibao hiki ni mojawapo kilishika chati za juu katika redio na runinga mbalimbali.

Kiliweza kumtangaza vema Balozi Dola Soul katika anga za muziki. Nauliza Nani na Nani wako fiti kwenye fani hii? Nauliza nani na nani? Nauliza nani na nani wako fiti kwenye fani hii? Nauli nani na nani? Kama tunavyojua kwamba hip hop imejaa majigambo mbalimbali hivyo katika kibao hicho anajaribu kuwahoji wapinzani wake wenye uwezo kumzidi yeye.

Anauliza nani na nani wako ngangari katika Bongofleva. Kibao kingine ni Nje ya Ndoa ambacho aliwashirikisha kundi zima la Mabaga Fresh. Walisimama imara katika kiitikio. Ana mume wa kwanza, wa pili nje ya ndoa, Anapenda sana kazi ya kudokoa, Mume wake naye yuko vileile, Ngoma ni droo, Ana mke wa kwanza, wa pili nje ya ndoa Anapenda sana kazi ya kudokoa Mke wake naye yuko vilevile Ngoma ni droo.

Viko vibao vikali ambao Balozi dola Soul alifanikiwa kuwateka mashabiki wengi. Kikiwemo kibao cha Homa ya Jiji, ambacho kiitikio chake kilinaswa na wengi kutokana na majigambo yake "Vichwa vinawaumaaaa, Wameshachanganyikiwaaaa Homaaa, homa ya jiji Homaaa, homa ya jiji X2 Kibao hiki aliwashirikisha wakali hawa Mack Dizzo, Imam Abbas na Inspekta Haruni ambao walikuwa wakitamba sana enzi hizo.

Kwa hakika Balozi Dola anatakiwa kuturudishia ujumbe na ladha. Vibao vingine ni Piga Bao, Taswira alichomshirikisha rafikiye mkubwa Imam Abbas, wakati kibao cha Dini na Dunia alimshirikisha Afande Sele. Wakati kibao cha Safari alimshirikisha rafiki yake Sugu.

Vibao vingine ni Niko Simpo, Fumbua Macho, Mpenzi, na Mvua. Ahmed Dola ni mwanamuziki mpiganaji mkubwa. Kwa yeyote aliyefuatilia shughuli zake za kimuzi atakubalina nami. Ili kuutangaza muziki wa Bongofleva amefanikiwa kutengeneza shajala yake iitwayo Bongo Barber's Shop.

Kwa mtu ambaye amefanikiwa kuiona Dokumentari hiyo kwa hakika atakubali kwamba Ahmed Dola ni moja ya wanamuziki wanaoijua muziki wa bongofleva. Jambo la msingi hapa ni kwamba Dola Soul aturudishie ujumbe na ladha yetu ya muziki ili wapinzani wake vichwa viwaume kishab wajiulize nani na nani kati yao yuko fiti katika fani hii.

Super D, mwanamasumbwi aliyeamua kusaidia chipukizi

Imeandikwa na Mwandishi Wetu; Tarehe: 10th December 2010 @ 21:00

NGUMI ni miongoni mwa michezo yenye msukumo mkubwa ukiwa umewapatia vijana nafasi ya kuvutia katika jamii hasa katika kipindi hiki ambapo jamii zinajihusisha kwa karibu na michezo.

Ipo michezo katika jamii hapa nchini ambayo imepokelewa kwa kiwango cha hali ya juu na mingine ikiwa bado haijapatiwa nafasi kubwa kama ambavyo inaonekana.

Mfano wa michezo ambayo imepata nafasi kubwa ya kupendwa na wengi ni mpira wa miguu, ngumi na mpira wa kikapu ingawa takwimu zinaoneshwa kuwa mchezo wa kikapu ni wa pili kupendwa hapa nchini.

Ukiachilia mbali michezo hii ipo michezo mingine ambayo bado haijapewa nafasi kubwa katika maeneo mengi kwa mfano mchezo wa kriketi, gofu, mpira wa meza, mpira wa mikono, tenisi na mingine mingi, lakini ina mashabiki wengi.

Wadau wengi wa michezo hapa nchini wamekuwa wakijihusisha karibu na michezo lakini wanashindwa kusonga mbele kutokana na msukumo wa jamii katika michezo kuwa mdogo inayopelekea kukosa wadau kudhamini michezo.

Kocha wa kujitegemea wa ngumi anayefundisha klabu ya Ashati ya Ilala Dar es Salaam Rajabu Mhamila 'Super D' ameanzisha programu maalumu ya kuwafundisha vijana anayoiendesha katika ufukwe wa bahari ya Hindi, sehemu ya Gymkhana.

Akizungumza na mwandishi wa makala haya hivi karibuni jijini Dar es Salaam, Super D anasema ameamua kuanzisha ili kutumia vizuri kipaji chake alichopewa na wengine waweze kufaidika nacho nao waweze.

"Nimeona vijana wengi hawana kazi wapo tu mitaani na wana vipaji sasa nafundishwa kwa kujitolea ili kuibua vipaji vyao na hatimaye waweze kutimiza malengo yao katika maisha, " anasema Super D kocha huyo ambaye aliwahi kuchezea klabu ya zamani ya ngumi ya Simba ya jijini Dar es Salaam.

Super D ambaye ni mpigapicha wa magazeti ya Majira, Spoti Starehe, Maisha, Dar Leo na Business Times ya jijini Dar es Salaam anasema anaamini vijana wengi wanaweza kufika mbali kupitia mchezo huu kama wakiwezeshwa.

Anasema alianza programu yake ya ufukweni mapema mwezi Mei mwaka huu na kufanikiwa kupata vijana wachache, lakini idadi yao hivi sasa imeongezeka hadi kufikia nane.

Kocha huyo anasema inawezekana pengine vijana wana vipaji katika ngumi, lakini hawajui sehemu ya kupata mafunzo hivyo anawakaribisha vijana wengi kuhudhuria katika maeneo hayo kila siku za Jumamosi na Jumapili.

Anasema mabondia aliokuwa nao hadi sasa wanafuatilia kwa makini mafunzo yake, ambapo wengi wao wameonekana kuonesha nia na mapenzi ya dhati na mchezo huo.

"Sina shaka nao hata kidogo wanafanya vizuri na nawapongeza wanafuatlilia kwa makini na wananielewa viwango vyao vinazidi kubadilika kila kukicha wananipa moyo na nadhani watatimiza lengo, " anasema.

Akizungumzia mafanikio yake hadi kuwa kocha Super D anasema alianza kujihusisha na mchezo wa ngumi mwaka 1984 na kujipatia uzoefu mkubwa baada ya kuchezea klabu mbalimbali za mchezo huo jijini Dar es Salaam.

Anasema klabu alizowahi kuchezea ni pamoja na klabu ya zamani ya ngumi iliyokuwa chini ya klabu ya soka ya Simba mwaka 1984, klabu ya Reli iliyokuwa inamilikiwa na Shirika la Reli Tanzania (TRC), pamoja na klabu ya Amana ya Ilala zote za Dar es Salaam.

Super D anasema akiwa bondia alipata nafasi ya kucheza na mabondia mbalimbali akiwemo Mbwana Matumla, Rashid Ally, Husein Pazzi, Alfred Ngaloma na bondia Rogder Mtagwa ambaye ndiye bondia aliyewahi kumshinda kati ya hao ambaye kwa sasa anacheza ngumi nchini Marekani.

Anasema mabondia wengine aliowahi kucheza nao ni Oscar Manyuka ambaye ni msaidizi wake katika klabu ya Ashanti, na Said Chaku ambaye kwa sasa ni mwamuzi wa mchezo huo katika mashindano mbalimbali yanayofanyika hapa nchini.

Hata hivyo hivi karibuni baada ya matunda ya kazi yake kuanza kuonekana kutokana na watu wengi kupendelea kupita na kutazama kazi yake baadhi ya wadau wameanza kujitokeza na kumpongeza.

Hata hivyo kocha huyo anasema anawaomba wadau wa mchezo huo kuungana naye kimsapoti ili kuwaendeleza vijana kutokana na ukosefu wa vifaa unaowakabili na wengi wao kushindwa kuhudhuria.

Anasema baada ya kuanza kazi yake hadi sasa amefanikiwa kumpata mdau mmoja aliyemtaja kwa jina la Zulfiqal Ali ambaye amemsapoti kwa kumpatia vifaa vyenye thamani ya zaidi ya Sh 300,000 na akimtaja Halima Kaubanika aliyemwezesha vikiingia kinywani kwa wachezaji wake wa Ashanti.

"Ninamshukuru sana na ninampongeza kwa kitendo chake cha kiungwana kuniunga mkono kuwasaidia vijana, nafikiri mfano wake utaigwa na wadau wengine namhakikishia ataifurahia kazi yangu," anasema kocha huyo.

Amewataka wadau wengine kumuunga mkono katika kazi yake ambapo pia amewaomba wazazi kuwaruhusu vijana wao ambao wana vipaji kuhudhuria mazoezi yake ili kuendeleza vipaji vyao.

We fear no one, says Wenger after big win



By (AFP)Posted Thursday, December 9 2010 at 18:17



London

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger vowed his team had nothing to fear after they advanced to the knockout phase of the Champions League and a likely showdown with one of European football's heavyweights.



A below-par Arsenal were made to work hard for a 3-1 victory over Partizan Belgrade on Wednesday, with Theo Walcott and Samir Nasri scoring the decisive goals after the Serbs' striker Cleo had cancelled out Robin Van Persie's opener.



However the result was not good enough to clinch first place in Group H, meaning that the Gunners now face a last 16 tie against either Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Schalke 04.



Wenger acknowledged that the possibility of a match against Barcelona - who destroyed Arsenal 4-1 in the Nou Camp last season - was a daunting prospect.




However the Frenchman insisted his team would be confident of progressing regardless of who they were eventually drawn against.

"You would have to say let's be realistic. Barcelona is the super-favourite in this competition at the moment," Wenger said.

"Last year we went out against them. But I feel we had some room to do better because it was 2-2 at home and we were leading 1-0 over there."



Wenger also believes that his teammay also improve by the time the Champions League resumes in February.

"We are in a strong position in the league, we are qualified in the Champions League, we are in the semi-finals of the League Cup," he said.

Cecafa: Walia Antelopes’ run halted



By CHARLES NYENDE in Dar es salaam cnyende@ke.nationmedia.com Posted Friday, December 10 2010 at 19:31



Super sub Tchetche Kipre’s accomplished finish midway through the second half was enough to power guest-side Cote d’Ivoire to the final of the Cecafa Tusker Senior Challenge Cup with a 1-0 victory against Ethiopia at the National Stadium on Friday.

The bustling Jeunesse Club d’Abidjan striker used his speed to run clear on the left wing and beat Ethiopia keeper Jemal Bushera via the far post in the 79th minute.




It was a deserved win for the more enterprising west Africans who had created several good chances but were let down by poor finishing mainly from wayward forward Zoumana Kone.



This was the second time in as many matches that Kipre was coming in as a sub to grab the winning goal. He did it first in Cote d’Ivoire’s 1-0 win over Malawi in the quarterfinals.



“Cote d’Ivoire looked streetwise. They had more efficiency and more know-how. It was a very strong team we played against and we are proud of our efforts. We are not down hearted,” Ethiopia coach Ifem Onuora said.



Should have scored five goals


“I had watched Ethiopia in their previous matches I knew how they played but I knew how to play against them. If we were lucky we should have scored five goals,” Cote d’Ivoire coach Georges Kouadio said.



The match started tentatively, with both teams packing their midfield.

Ethiopia were the poorer for this tactics as their passing, patient game was stifled while Cote d’Ivoire, with their ability for swift counters appeared to thrive.



The west African’s showed their potent ability in the 15th minute, Kipre’s twin brother Bolou feeding Marc Goug but his cross flashed across goal with no takers.



Kone got his first of many chances two minutes later, finding himself clear with only the goalie to beat but hurried his shot over the bar.



Destined for penalties


Eric Bile somehow headed wide when hitting the target from Goug’s cross looked the most likely outcome in the 37th minute.

Kone was again wasteful 13 minutes into the second half failing to put the ball past Bushera following another one-on-one situation.

Despite the chances the match looked destined to be settled by penalties before the introduction of Kipre.

He duly delivered 26 minutes later and almost got a second in the 79th minute but was denied by the upright.

AFC polls next month, says chairman Ochiel



By EDITH FORTUNATEPosted Thursday, December 9 2010 at 18:17



AFC Leopards will hold their annual general meeting and elections on January 9, not this month as earlier announced by the club's suspended secretary Robert Asembo.



The club's chairman Julius Ochiel and assistant secretary Catherine Omayo on Thursday sought to clear the air about Leopards' management, insisting that Asembo remained suspended and was not authorised, therefore, to transact any business on behalf of the club.



Ochiel said recruitment of players was on-going and that Leopards has so far signed four players namely Liberians Abraham Cokie and Rahish William , Edward Seda, formerly of Kakamega High School and Chrispino Suleiman.




He said Robert Matano, Noah Wanyama and Eliud Omukuya have been tasked by the club's governing council to put together a team for the 2011 season. Team officially resumes training of Monday at Kabete grounds.

"Our AGM Scheduled for December 5 did take place at the Nyayo National Stadium as planned and all agendas tackled conclusively," Ochiel said.



"The governing council was mandated to fill up the position of vice chairman and organising secretary. It was also agreed that we hold elections on January 9, 2011, for the sake of peace and tranquillity in the club.



"Please note there was no directive or deadline on the AGM."

Mulee incited players, says Hatimy

By GILBERT WANDERA


Former Harambee Stars coach Jacob Mulee has been accused of inciting players to boycott their match against Uganda Cranes last Sunday.


Football Kenya chairman Mohammed Hatimy claimed the former coach was trying to divert attention from his failures in the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup.


Stars lost 3-2 to Malawi before going down 2-1 to Ethiopia in their opening two matches. Players almost failed to play against Uganda over unpaid allowances, but Hatimy has denied this was the reason for their threat.
"He (Mulee) incited the players and we have the evidence. He failed and was trying to divert attention," said Hatimy, who showed us a recording of the team's meeting at which Mulee is heard telling the players not to take to the pitch until their allowances are paid in full.


In the recording apparently taken by one of the technical bench members, Mulee is heard telling the players "enough is enough" and they must demand their allowances or else they may never the paid.
Hatimy said FKL may take disciplinary action against the former coach for alleged sabotage, but was quick to add that it is upto the company's technical committee to make such a recommendation.


"I want to advice the former coach to stop talking about administrative matters and say why he failed on the pitch,"
"It is not true that we owe them allowances from 2007 as he alleges. This was cleared. What is pending are amounts that had not been agreed upon between us and members of the team," he said.


as he tabled payment schedules signed by the former coach and players who featured in the 2007 Senior Challenge Cup.
The FKL boss rubbished reports by his vice chairman Titus Kasuve that the top leadership had frustrated Mulee.
"It is not my work as the chairman to deal with the technical bench directly. We have various committees which he is supposed to report to," "The culture of the executive getting involved in every affair of the federation should not be encouraged and we are trying to get away from that," he said.


He accused Kasuve of meddling in the affairs of the secretariat and this he said has made them unable to carry out their mandate effectively. "The executive must stay away from the secretariat to do their job properly," he said.

Disappointing start for Kenya in SA

By BS MULAVI


Defensive frailties combined with the inability to recycle ball procession contributed to Kenya's 47-0 hammering by New Zealand in the IRB Sevens tournament in George, South Africa.



Benjamin Ayimba's starting line up looked quite optimistic with Innocent Simiyu, Cyprian Shimenga and Leon Adongo expected to ruffle the All Blacks in the middle of the pack. Horace Otieno, renowned for his explosive role as a substitute, was given a rare start, but he hardly troubled the New Zealand defenders.


Kenya barely had their hands on the ball in the first half and the few times they tried to pull phases, possession was lost and New Zealand responded with quick tries. The addition of Brian Nyikuli towards the end of the first half did not reverse Kenya's fortunes. By half time, Ayimba's team had conceded four tries and the score line read 26-0. A lot more was expected from Kenya in the second half, but the team could barely display its athletic style or break the All Blacks defencive line.



The team's inspirational captain Humphrey Kayange looked like a lone figure with a lot of the hard running being left to an energetic Innocent Simiyu and Horace Otieno. Ben Nyambu was introduced late in the second half, but even his enterprising play at the breakdowns could not stop a marauding All Blacks.

Somalia coach Muhanji sees bright future

James Waindi in Dar es Salaam


Former Kenya's international custodian, Washington Muhanji, is relishing new challenges as the assistant coach of Somalia, a team regarded an underdog in the region, but believes there is hope for the Ocean Stars.


Muhanji, who has been with the team for a year, told Feverpitch he was confident of improving the level of football in the war-torn country, and believes some of their players are equally talented to earn places in major European leagues just like other African footballers.



"There is talent is Somalia, but their biggest problems are insecurity, lack of facilities and poor infrastructures. In fact, there is no stadium in Mogadishu and there is no running league. Somalia have been forced to use Djibouti as their training base, and that is where they play their home matches," said Muhanji.



The former Scarlet and AFC Leopards custodian believes with proper facilities and infrastructure, the Ocean Stars can match the rest.



"The Mogadishu Stadium was turned into a military base by the militia and there is no other stadium in the country. There is also no league running, so we have to pick players from villages and try them at the team's camp in Djibouti. Djibouti also has one stadium and training is hectic because all the teams in their league also use the same stadium for training. Besides, training sessions cannot go beyond one hour because other teams would also be queuing to train," Muhanji said.



He noted that Kenya was lucky to be enjoying a successful local league and urged Harambee Stars to turn the superiority of their league in the region into results for the national team.

The third-place match is expected to kick off at 1.30pm, and will also be aired live.

Meanwhile, with almost two 10 months to go before Harambee Stars face arch rivals Uganda in a crucial Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Kampala, Cranes players have already started plotting for the match and their skipper at the ongoing Cecafa Tusker Cup. Andrew Mweisigwa has told Stars not to expect any point in Namboole.


Uganda beat Kenya 2-0 to knock out Stars from the regional event and Mweisigwa believes they will give Kenya a similar treatment in Kampala on October 9.


"We have never lost a match in Nambole since 2002, when we were lost to South Africa. Teams like Nigeria and Angola have lost there and Kenya should not expect any point there," said Mweisigwa.
