Isaac Kipyegon scoops Ingwe Player of the Month

Posted on by Kibaki Muthamia

Defender Isaac Kipyegon has been voted AFC Leopards fans’ best player for the month of July.

This is coming just months into his new role as club captain a position he has held since the arrival of Belgian Coach Patrick Aussems who favours the diminutive defender to Robinson Kamura.

Kipyegon guided the club through a tumultuous time in the month of July in which they played five. Ingwe beat Bandari 2-0, drew against Nzoia Sugar, lost to both Tusker and Western Stima added to the FKF Cup Finals loss to arch-rivals Gor Mahia FC.

Kipyegon thanked the fans for voting for him saying he dedicates the award to his teammates.

“Without the rest of the players this would not have come true. They are my biggest motivation. But I thank the fans for making this possible.”

Coach Patrick Aussems on his part thanked Betsafe for the initiative saying it is a massive morale booster for his side.

“The players now have something extra to work for. They see this and everyone wants to put in extra gear and that lifts the entire squad.” Said the Belgian tactician who recently extended his stay at the club.

Present during the award ceremony at Camp Toyoyo in Eastlands were AFC Leopards players, the club leadership headed by Treasurer Maurice Chichi, Betsafe Marketing Manager Mavin Waganda and Betsafe Managing Director Victor Sudi.

Sudi encouraged the players to work hard in the remaining fixtures to finish at a respectable position in the league.

“I can see we are left with three tough fixtures but I know you are even tougher. Betsafe is here to support you to ensure the club puts a good fight to the end.”

Gor Mahia’s talismanic winger Miheso voted Player of the Month

Posted on by Kibaki Muthamia

Clifton Miheso has been voted Gor Mahia fans’ Most Outstanding Player for the month of July.

The speedy winger bagged the award following the club’s bittersweet performance of July 2021.

Bitter because the club for the first time in over a decade failed to win a single league match but sweet because K’Ogalo booked their continental slot by winning the FKF Cup to represent the country in next season’s CAF Confederation Cup.

The winger, currently rumoured to be on his way out of the 19 times KPL champions, featured in all the five matches for K’Ogalo in the month of July where they lost to Ulinzi Stars, Kariobangi Sharks, Tusker FC and drew one all against Nairobi City Stars in the league.

Probably what set him above his fellow nominees was the conversion of his spot kick during penalty shootouts against arch-rivals AFC Leopards in the finals of the FKF Cup on July 4th, 2021 at Nyayo National Stadium.

Other nominees were midfielder Ernest Wendo and Captain Harun Shakava.

Speaking during the presentation of the award, Betsafe MD Victor Sudi reiterated the company’s resolve to support initiatives by the fans such as this to encourage the players to put in extra effort in their trade.

“We shall continue with this award and for the remaining games, I urge you to put in your best effort because we will be here again next month to present the winner as voted by the fans.” Concluded Sudi.

“I am so excited to be the first winner of this award and I thank all my teammates because this is a team sport. To the fans, I can’t be more grateful,” said Miheso who, other than the trophy, went home with a Ksh.25,000 cash prize.

Captain Harun Shakava on his part thanked the club sponsor Betsafe for the support saying the award is an extra motivation as the club prepares for continental assignments next season.

Leading gaming brand, Betsafe Kenya, has launched a lucrative product, the Super Jackpot, which has a Ksh.100M prize. The brand has been on the rise since it set shop in 2020 and has added the Super Jackpot to its portfolio of jackpot products.

The Super Jackpot, which has an entry of Ksh.80, allows punters to wager their bet on three markets, home win, draw or away win, on 17 games for a chance to take home Ksh.100M.

The Super Jackpot, which was launched on Monday, 9th August, was met with rave reviews by punters who commented that the games were fair and the Ksh.80 stake was reasonable.

The Super Jackpot awards punters with bonuses when they correctly predict 12-16 of the games. Betsafe introduced a twist with the awarding of a unique bonus to players who get none of 17 predictions correct.

Speaking at the launch of the Super Jackpot, CEO, Victor Sudi reiterated Betsafe’s intent of introducing innovative products that players could enjoy. “The Super Jackpot is our latest product entry and as we’re happy to see that players have taken up to it and we’ll hopefully have a winner soon.”
