On Sunday 16 September 2012, Kakamega Homeboyz returned to the top of Division One Zone B after a hard fought 1-0 win over former Premier League side Agro Chemicals in a game played at the Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega.

Break in at the changing rooms

The goal that mattered was scored by Ronald Otieno Omino in the 63^rd minute of the game when he flicked a free kick form Daniel Njoroge Waweru.

Naturally after the win, Homeboyz players and officials went into frenzy but moments later they all froze on realization of a break in at the changing rooms where their personal effects were stolen.

News of the theft was relayed to our news desk by Homeboyz Chair Cleophas Shimanyula and also confirmed our own reporter Rogers Eshitemi who was at the venue.
