Sharks join Bandari in Sportpesa Shield final

Kariobangi Sharks will face off with Bandari for the ticket to represent the country in next season’s CAF Confederations Cup after both teams booked a ticket to contest the FKF Sportpesa Shield Cup.

Both clubs were given a great scare by their opponents despite registering good results.

Bandari powered their way to their first final appearance since 2015 by making light work of fellow coastal outfit – SS Assad, with a 6-1 drubbing.

Defending champions Sharks claimed a hard-fought 1-0 win over fellow topflight side Kenya Commercial Bank. Both matches were staged in Machakos.

Sharks, coached by William Muluya, made it after edging well-drilled Kenya Commercial Bank with a solitary goal netted by former Sharks defender Bolton Omwenga, who scored an own-goal.

The final is slated for 1 June.
