The first two players are Kenyans, but the last one is from Uganda and has initially played for former Kenyan top-tier side Sony Sugar.
Posta are also contemplating who to drop to create space for new players. The management is strict on the number of players in the team owing to tough economic times.
The Mailmen have collected just one win from the 11 matches they have played in the FKF-Premier League, drawn seven and lost three. They have also scored seven goals and conceded 11 which puts them at negative four in goal difference.
The management felt Sammy Omollo, who is commonly referred to as Pamzo, had not done enough and decided to part ways with him.
The hosts gave a good account of themselves, pushing forward and playing with composure and confidence despite their limited experience as compared to their opponents.
Neither of the two teams managed to get a goal in the first half. While All-Stars must have been satisfied with their first-half display, the Nairobi-based side were not contented with the result.
After the break, the 2009-league champions came back stronger hoping to get a goal and avoid post-match penalties.
The ineffective Paul Kiongera and Collins Wakungu gave way to Otieno and Joe Waithera. And in the 48th minute, the former Tusker FC striker scored the all-important goal to ensure his team advanced.
Goal. We now need to go work harder, and the main thing is to build confidence especially in the danger zone. We lacked composure and self-belief and that is why we could not take the clear chances we created. We have quality players who I do not expect to miss such clear chances. At least they could have scored about two or three goals.
Bandari have collected five points from as many matches and they are placed fifth on the table. They have won one game, drawn two and lost as many games. The Dockers have scored three goals and conceded five.
I was impressed with my players reaction after we conceded. They fought and ensured we scored. But it is a game that could have gone either way. Bandari had their chances especially from set-pieces, we also had our chances from set-pieces but none took them. It is something I will have to work on with my players, especially finishing on those set-pieces. But a point is not a bad result for us.
The tactician is hopeful his team is on the right track and will soon start getting wins consistently. We have been playing tough games with good teams and I have to be content with the one point we get, Omollo added.
However, Kapaito rose to the occasion to turn the game around for Sharks as he scored in the 70th minute to level matters and then in the 76th minute to seal maximum points.
Meanwhile, Posta Rangers were held to a 1-1 draw by visiting Bandari. As the first half tempo was being set into motion Bandari forward Yema Mwana managed to knock down the postmen’s defence and bag a goal before the sound of the buzzer.
After the break, Posta Rangers got back in the game after Jackson Dwang put in an equalizer, to close the scores at 1-1. Elsewhere, at the Afraha Stadium in Nakuru, Ulinzi Stars earned their first win of the season after trouncing Kakamega Homeboyz 2-0.
