Nzoia Sugar hand AFC Leopards free points after they skip KPL match

AFC Leopards were handed a walkover after Nzoia Sugar failed to turn up at Bukhungu Stadium for an early kick-off Kenyan Premier League (KPL) match.

Nzoia Sugar maintained that the match ought to have been staged at Mumias Sports Complex but KPL insisted on having the match be played at Bukhungu Stadium.

The match was expected to precede the Kakamega Homeboyz verses Tusker late kick-off and both matches were to enjoy live broadcasting.

"I don’t know about Bukhungu, we wrote to KPL that the match venue had to be our home ground that is Mumias and we chose it after it was approved," Nzoia Sugar chairman Yappets Mokua told Goal.
