The result saw Sharks remain winless in the month of April to stagnate 11th with 15 points while AFC Leopards climbed to fourth on 19 points.After a goalless first half, Manoa raised high to flick home a free header from a well measured Patillah Omoto free-kick in the 76th minute to see their attacking effort pay after fluffing a series of open chances from Saphan Oyugi, Duke Abuya and Paul Kamau.However, lapse of concentration at the Sharks backline cost them maximum points after defender Michael Bodo slid to hand the ball in the box to gift AFC Leopards a penalty.Isuza did not waste the golden opportunity as he stepped up to convert home despite Sharks custodian John Oyemba, who provided man of the match performance, dived on the right direction.AFC Leopards’ Dennis Kitambi Photo/FILESharks were the better team in the opening 40 minutes and they could have broken the deadlock in the 10th minute had Abuya who dispossessed Robinson Kamura to surge forward alone scored with only the keeper, Otemba to beat. He shot wide in front of goals instead of placing.Oyemba, the reigning Goal Keeper of the year pulled a superb save to keep Sharks in the game when he came off his line to deny Moses Arita who was set up by Kamura.The last five minutes of the first half belonged to AFC but they could not convert the chances with Jeffari Owiti being the first victim, heading a feeble header down for the keeper to easily save before Oyemba cleared of the line after recovering from a slide on the stroke of half-time.Sharks started the second half on a high and they could have scored through Kamau against the run of play, but the bulky forwards blazed over from close range. This is after the AFC Leopards defence poorly cleared a danger in the box.Oyemba them pulled what could content for a save of the season award when he dived to reflex a powerful shot that drove through the defenders from Marvin Omondi in the 63rd minute.0Shares0000(Visited 1 times, 1 visits today) 0Shares0000AFC Leopards striker Marvin Omondi leads team-mates in celebratiON.NAIROBI, Kenya, Apr 25 – AFC Leopards stretched their Kenyan Premier League winless run to five successive matches after being held to a 1-1 draw at home against Kariobangi Sharks in a match played at a slippery Thika Sub-County Stadium on Wednesday.Francis Manoa stepped off the bench to send Kariobangi Sharks ahead but as they thought they were destined for victory, Wyvonne Isuza gave AFC Leopards reprieve when he scored from the spot in the 90th minute.
CANOGA PARK – Peaceful solutions to conflicts of all kinds will be the focus of Gandhi Day, being observed Sunday by the Valley Interfaith Council. Focusing on the teachings of spiritual leader Mohandas Gandhi, the event will also feature Indian cultural presentations. “There’s so much violence and craziness in our kids’ lives. When they look around they see violence, war, killing. They need to find nonviolent ways to deal with their lives,” said Vandana Kumar, a science teacher at Canoga Park High School. Kumar coordinated a student essay writing contest with the theme “What Would Gandhi Do?” that is also the theme of this year’s celebration held at Faith Lutheran Church. “How would he react to what’s going on in Kashmir, with gang violence here and Darfur? Gandhi was very good about asking people to think about what you’re doing,” Kumar said. “We need to do a lot more in the world to encourage peaceful ways of solving problems. He said, be the change you want to see. Be the change yourself.” Gandhi’s Oct. 2 birthday is a national holiday in India. Garlands of marigolds are draped on his statues. There are prayers services and speeches made in his honor. Songs and hymns that he loved are performed. The student essay contest was open to middle and senior high school and special needs students. Kumar said that when she asks students what they know about Gandhi they usually tell her, “Oh, he’s the dude who got India’s independence by starving himself.” She’s hoping that this Sunday’s celebration will spur students and adults into learning more about the man who was called Mahatma, “great soul,” and Bapu, “beloved father” in Hindi. Gandhi led his countrymen in using nonviolent resistance techniques that brought an end to British colonial rule of India on Aug. 15, 1947. Gandhi embraced the Hindu concept of “ahimsa,” a Sanskrit word meaning avoidance of injury. The teaching of ahimsa is found in Hindu scriptures called the Upanishads. It is interpreted to mean that one should not cause any pain or harm to any living being by thought, word or action. Ironically, the man who tried to follow the path of ahimsa was assassinated on Jan. 30, 1948, at age 78. “Gandhi was a great leader. He brought about people’s desire for peace. He carried three books with him: the Bible, the Quran and the Gita. He based his teachings on all three,” said Soraya Deen, who will give a five-minute talk on peace at the event. “I think we need leaders who will guide us in peace. We need to honor those who have given their lives for peace,” said Deen, who is writing a children’s book about peace. “We are all peace seekers but we need to become peacemakers. Our homes need to be citadels of peace.” Deen, originally from Sri Lanka, said her advice for promoting peace is “live it, share it.” “I would tell people, wake up every day and spread one activity of peace once a day. Do that with your children, your neighbors and your co-workers.” Along with Deen, a Muslim, there will be speakers from other faiths who will discuss Gandhi’s life and philosophy. Gandhi Day is also a chance to meet people from the Indian community, watch an Indian dance troupe and listen to a tabla performer and to other Indian music. The winners of the essay contest have been asked to read their work. Everyone will have a chance to join in singing “Let There Be Peace on Earth and Let It Begin With Me” before sampling vegetarian Indian foods donated by local Indian restaurants. “Gandhi Day is always a great experience. It’s a step into the Indian community. There’s an explosion of colors with the women’s saris. Your senses are really working that day,” said the Rev. Wayne Christiansenfrom Faith Lutheran Church whose church has hosted the event for many years. “I hope people will take away with them that there are other ways to solve the world’s problems than through violence. We should be talking about the tough issues – Iraq, Israel and Palestine – taking Gandhi’s message and using it. We should be teaching peace.” Gandhi Day, presented by the Valley Interfaith Council, 4-6 p.m. Sunday, Faith Lutheran Church, 7500 De Soto Ave., Canoga Park.

Although he’s just 20 years of age, defender Dylan Hegarty is one of the experienced players in the Swilly Rovers dressing room.The likes of Marty McDaid, Laurence Toland and Damien Friel are veterans of the side, but Hegarty comes with plenty of experience in a largely youthful Swilly side that is still searching for its first League win of the season.On Sunday, the Ramelton men are away to Derry City Reserves in the 4 Lanterns Ulster Senior League. “We see our’s as a long-term plan,” Hegarty says.“Gerry (Crossan, Swilly manager) doesn’t come in and expect us to win the League. He wants us to be competitive in games, but we’re realistic.“We have a lot of young lads in the team: The likes of Shaun Crossan and Shay Durning are still 17 and 18, myself and Jordan Toland are only 20 and Ryan Toland is 22.“The make-up of the squad is young and I think inexperience has cost us. The average age of the squad is very low and that has been a factor so far for us. “We can be better though. We have switched off and been punished in games recently.”Swilly drew in the opening League game at Bonagee United and drew with Fanad United and Letterkenny Rovers on consecutive weekends.However, they conceded seven goals in each of their next two games, both against Cockhill Celic – one in the Intermediate Cup and the other in the League.“Those games were a big dent for us,” Hegarty says.“That killed momentum and confidence a bit in us. It was hard to take that, letting in that many goals. “It hit us going into the Harps game on Sunday, too. If we’d had Harps after those couple of draws, I think it would have been a different story.“We opened up more against Harps. When we drew with Letterkenny and Fanad, we sat it. We might have been bad to watch, but we got results in those games. We should be able to learn from all of that, see where we’re at and improve.”Swilly have had a change of manager already with Crossan having replaced Aaron Rogan early in the campaign.Crossan is a coach at underage level at Swilly and also with the Donegal Schoolboys. Hegarty says: “Gerry has given it all a good lift. He gives 110 per cent. He’s a great coach. He brings a bit of professionalism that was maybe missing. We know the formation, the roles and what’s expected of us now.”Hegarty played twice in the Foyle Cup for Derry City, with the Under-17s and the Under-19s, under John Quigg and Hugh Harkin. The likes of Josh Daniels and Ronan Curtis, now members of the City first-team squad, were team-mates at the time.Hegarty says: “It was a good experience and the quality was very good. It was different to the USL in a load of ways, but it definitely helped me.“Against Derry, you don’t know what team you’ll be up against but I’ve never came up against a bad team from Derry. They’ll be young, but they’ll be flying about, passing, moving, they’ll be dangerous.“Hopefully we can get a win under the belts soon. It’s good to be playing in the USL. There was talk in the summer of Swilly maybe pulling out. It’s competitive, but repetitive in the USL now, but it’s still a good standard and where players want to play.”RESULTSBonagee United 0 Cockhill Celtic 3Derry City Reserves 2 Fanad United 3Swilly Rovees 2 Finn Harps Reserves 3FIXTURESFour Lanterns Ulster Senior LeagueSunday, November 20, 2pmDerry City Reserves v Swilly Rovers Referee – Packie Coll; assistants – Marty McGarrigle, tbcFanad United v Bonagee United Referee – Paul Duddy; assistants – Marty Quinn, Vincent McLoughlinTuesday, November 22, 7.30pmFinn Harps Reserves v Letterkenny Rovers TBCTOP GOALSCORERS (League only)Cathal Farren (Derry City Reserves) 6Mark Moran (Cockhill Celtic) 5Aidan McLaughlin (Bonagee United) 3Gerard McLaughlin (Cockhill Celtic) 3Max Karner (Derry City Reserves) 3Darren McElwaine (Letterkenny Rovers) 3POSTPONEMENTDue to a bereavement, Thursday’s 4 Lanterns Ulster Senior League game between Finn Harps Reserves and Letterkenny Rovers has been postponed.The game has been called off as a mark of respect to the late Annie Friel, Friel’s Hotel, Raphoe, the grandmother of Letterkenny Rovers goalkeeper Sean Friel.The fixture has been rescheduled and will take place at Finn Park next Tuesday, November 22, at 7.30pm.The Ulster Senior League executive convey their sympathies to the Friel family.

The speed signs in Burtonport are causing confusion!Motorists in one Donegal seaside village aren’t sure if it’s safe to speed up or slow down after a road sign blunder!Two speed signs have been erected on the road leading into BurtonportRoad users would normally be happy to obey speeds – unless they are for different speeds that is! The sign on the left hand sign of the road advises motorists that they must not drive above 50 kph.However the sign on the right hand side of the road (the American drivers side!) allows motorists to reach speeds of up to 60 kph.Locals have been left amused but a little concerned by the sign-post cock-up.One said “It is funny but what would happened if you were stopped doing 55 kph at that spot by Gardai? “I think it could provide someone with a fairly strong excuse before the courts.”A spokesman for the Department of Tourism said the erection of signs was a matter for the local authority.A Donegal County Council spokesman has said they will look into the matter.

Up your jumpers! Joe shows Mayo whose bossJOE McHugh may have been summonsed to Mayo for a party think tank – but he made sure the locals knew where he stood for Sunday week’s All-Ireland final.Challenged to a dander up the famous Croagh Patrick, the Donegal TD was more than up to the taskAnd when he got to the summit, he couldn’t believe it when he found a Donegal flag there! “I climbed Croagh Patrick on Tuesday morning, and when I got to the top I saw the Donegal flag at half mast – it had been pulled down by either the wind or the hand of a Mayo fan!“Obviously another Donegal fan got there before me! I’d like to assure the Donegal people that I reinstated it to its rightful place, flying proudly over Mayo. Up Donegal!”, he said.He made sure everyone at the Westport conference got to hear that a Donegal flag was now proudly displayed over Mayo after his 6am climb to the summit.Taoiseach Enda Kenny may be his boss from the county, but Joe says he’ll show him whose the footballing boss on Sunday week. “Let’s just say I enjoyed the trip up Croagh Patrick and that my boss (The Taoiseach) knows about it,” laughed Joe.
