What you need to know:
- The walkover means Homeboyz have bagged three points and two goals without kicking a ball heading to their final fixture against Kariobangi Sharks next weekend
- FC Talanta CEO Douglas Ratemo told Nation Sport that the claims by players that they are owed salary were false because they are yet to pay only June salaries which has not elapsed
- Homeboyz were at the pitch and even had a prematch warm up, but no FC Talanta player was at Ruaraka
The circus surrounding Kenyan football continued on Sunday after FC Talanta boycotted their Football Kenya Federation Premier League match against title-chasing Kakamega Homeboyz at Ruaraka Grounds.
The game which was key to the title race between Kakamega Homeboyz and Tusker did not take place after FC Talanta players failed to show up for the match lamenting over unpaid salaries and match winning bonuses.
