The Kenyans have applied the proverbial saying of ‘a burnt child dreads fire’ after communicating that they are unable to turn up for the second leg match in the U-23 tournament in Kampala according to the Kenya Football Limited Chief Executive, Joseph Agola.

The Uganda Kobs younger-stars were in high gear preparing to humiliate the Kenyans again on July 9 after beating them 5-1 before tens of thousands of their fans in Nairobi in the first leg on June 26.

The Kenyans withdraw from the league has given Uganda Kobs a soft landing in Maputo-Mozambique to represent Africa Zone V in this year’s All Africa Games due in September.

Kenya, which runs a budget about seven times greater than the Uganda’s budget say that the withdraw has been due to logistical hardships.
