More penalties for clubs issuing walkovers

Football Kenya Federation in a bid to discourage walkovers in the league have moved with speed to introduce more penalties for clubs not honouring fixtures and those forfeiting matches

National Super League was currently hit with a series of walkovers with SS Assad and Silibwet Leons FC at the centre .

On Monday , Football governing body in the country docked 6 points and 4 goals from SS Assad for failing to honor Matches aganist Migori Youth and Kisumu All Stars

Silibwet Leons FC has also been hit with a 3 points deduction and 2 goals for not showing up at St Sebastian park for a league encounter aganist Murang'a Seal

Mark Asa coached Mwatate United have not be left out getting a 6 points deduction and 4 goals for forfeiting a home match aganist Coastal Heroes.

Silibwet Leons FC failed to travel for the Murang'a Seal encounter after the whole of the first team players got sick & hospitalized as per the hospital records seen by Ow Sports.

Mwatate United were forced to forfeit the match after failing to provide an ambulance for the second half of the game . Despite taking a two nil goal control , Mwatate United could not continue with play as Coastal Heroes refused to get back for the second phase of the match untill a well equiped Ambulance was provided

SS Assad have been hit with financial struggles since the start of the year and have been depending on well wishers to honour league matches .

With the deductions, Silibwet Leons,SS Assad have now accumulated 3 points as Mwatate United remain with -2 points ahead of match day 11

Speaking to a football administrator in the country ,he lauded the move by Football Kenya Federation saying it will help shape football in the country after a series of walkovers seen so far in the league

" I'm happy with the verdicts rendered by the federation ,points deduction is going to get teams working and finding finances for fixtures. Our teams don't want to work ,they don't want to plan but want to wake a day to the game and raise money ,it doesn't work like that "

He adds ," after National Super League,FKF should go for lower tier leagues,there is where we mould our football,if we start from the early stages ,we will never experience Walkovers in the league ".
