HYSTERICAL REACTIONS TO SPORTPESA ALL STARS VS HULL CITY GAME
The most awaited game between Hull City and Sportpesa All Stars Sportpesa went down at KCOM stadium on Monday 27th February. Hull city in their home ground beat Sportpesa All Stars 2-1. It was the fi rst friendly match sponsored by betting company Sportpesa played between an English Premier League team and a team comprising players from the Kenya Premier League held in England soil.
The Hull City team, which was majorly composed of players from the club’ s U23s, U18s and U16s sides, dominated the match’ s fi rst-half with Ben Hinchliffe, Greg Luer and Jarrod Bowen being instrumental. On the other hand, Ulinzi Stars striker John Mark Makwatta combined well with Tusker’ s Allan Wanga upfront but Hull City defenders stood tall to thwart all their efforts.
However, the match stopped for over 10 minutes from the 11th
minute mark when Wesley Onguso and Max Sheaf went for the ball using their heads but knocked each other. Max was badly injured and stretchered out of the fi eld for treatment.

Amidst all the reactions people felt that our players were too old for the Hull City players who had great ball techniques and they should have included younger players in the Kenyan team.
