There was more than just celebration at the Kasarani Annex on Sunday afternoon. For APS Bomet players and technical staff, the 2-0 victory over Mathare United came with a massive financial reward and renewed belief in their FKF Premier League survival battle. Moments after the final whistle, the team received a whopping Ksh1.85 million bonus from Kipchumba Murkomen, who also serves as the club’s patron. The reward fulfilled a promise Murkomen had made to the squad — Ksh50,000 for every player and official if the team managed to win their final five matches of the season. With Sunday’s crucial victory, the law enforcement-backed side moved a step closer to securing their top-flight status. The atmosphere around the team reflected determination, relief, and motivation. APS Bomet knew the clash against Mathare United was a must-win fixture, and they delivered when it mattered most. The players fought for every ball, showing the urgency of a team desperate to avoid slipping into the relegation battle. The win now lifts APS Bomet to 12th place on the FKF Premier League table with 37 points. More importantly, they are now five points above Ulinzi Stars, who remain stuck in the relegation danger zone. For a club that has spent most of the season battling inconsistency, the latest turnaround could not have come at a better time. The financial incentive appears to have injected fresh energy into the squad, with players now fully aware that every remaining match carries both survival importance and a possible reward. Murkomen’s support also highlights the growing trend of influential leaders backing football clubs financially and emotionally, especially during difficult moments in the season. His appearance after the match sent a strong message of confidence to the players and fans alike. As the season heads into its final stretch, APS Bomet’s focus will now shift to maintaining momentum. Survival is not yet guaranteed, but with confidence rising in the camp and morale boosted by both the victory and the cash reward, the team suddenly looks capable of finishing the season strongly. For APS Bomet supporters, Sunday may eventually be remembered as the turning point that kept their club in the FKF Premier League.
