Eldoret Youth puncture Wazito’s wheel, Ushuru, Stima to race clear with wins

Wazito’s charge to reclaim Kenya Premier League (KPL) promotion suffered a big blow as they fell in Eldoret on Friday.

A 2-1 defeat to Eldoret Youth means that Wazito, third on the National Super League log, will have a bigger challenge should leaders Ushuru defeat Shabana and Nairobi Stma, second in the race, see off Green Commandoes.
