On the pages of this blog, I have talked now and again about the giants of Kenyan football: Gor Mahia FC, AFC Leopards, Tusker FC, Mathare United, Ulinzi Stars, and Sofapaka.
The club I have never written about here, and so proudly do so today, is a little community club that shares a lot in common with me. I have yearned for when a football club from my home town would contest with the big boys and embarrass them. Now, it appears, my dream might come true soon.
If Isibania FC manage to sustain the momentum that has driven them to the summit of the Football Kenya Federation's Division One League Zone B standings, then in a matter of months, the huge army of Kogalo followers might find themselves making the long trip to the border town of Isibania to face my home town team.
Isibania is a small but vibrant border town at the south western tip of Kenya and is the gateway into the North Western and Western regions of Tanzania. You have to pass through Isibania to access the Tanzanian towns of Mwanza, Bukoba, Shinyanga and Musoma.
As an ardent football fan, am waiting to capture the making of history when this little football club, formed only a few years ago, starts receiving the giants of Kenyan football and, hopefully, teaching them a few football lessons.
