Promoted sides, Top Fry AllStars and Kenya Revenue Authority

Bandari respectively. KRA earned
promotion into the top flight after edging out former league side Posta Rangers

their campaign away to Muhoroni Youth as 2010 champions Ulinzi Stars host
Chemelil Sugar at Afraha, both on Saturday.
Thika United and Tusker FC both finished locked on 42 points
last season but the latter’s superior goal difference saw them finish 5th,
two spots above United. They will be gunning for a quick start when they clash
in Thika on Sunday.
Top two teams in the league, Gor and AFC will play their
matches against Nairobi City Stars and
KCB on Wednesday next week. Gor travel to Libreville for their return leg
African Champions League clash against Gabonese side US Britam holding a 1-0
