APS Bomet after winning FKF Division One Zone 'B' league

APS Bomet FC are the Division One League Zone 'B' champions.

The law enforcers will now play in the National Super League next year. They amassed 60 points from 30 matches at the end of the third tier on Sunday.

They return to the NSL after one year following their relegation last season after failing to honour some of their matches.

During the 2021-2022 season, the Bomet-based team won the NSL and were promoted to the Kenyan Premier League under the FKF Caretaker Committee but got a rude shock after the reinstated FKF National Executive Committee declared seasons under the caretaker committees null and void.

This means there was no promotion or relegation in the FKF leagues.

On Sunday, APS beat Mofa 1-0 after Ronald Chimwani slotted a cross from Rooney Alwala.

They are the fifth team from South Rift to play in the top two leagues after Brooke Bond and Zoo Kericho.

Brooke Bond joined the league in 1999 after winning the National Super League Western Zone but were relegated just three years later.

They were later disbanded following the exit of sponsors Brooke Bond Limited.
Zoo Kericho joined the top-flight league in 2017 but their stay was shortlived. They were demoted following a guilty verdict by Fifa on accusations of match manipulation.

The others are Silibwet Leons from Bomet and Mara Sugar from Narok County.
