Despite Shabana failing to provide any update on coach Pamzo Omollo's situation, their winless streak extended with a loss to Nairobi City Stars, leaving them bottom of the FKF Premier League standings.
Shabana FC's winless streak in the FKF Premier League continued on Sunday afternoon as the Kisii-based team fell to a 1-0 loss against Nairobi City Stars at Gusii Stadium.

The team has now gone six matches without a win, leaving them at the bottom of the standings with just three points, making them the only team in the league yet to secure a victory.

Peter Shalulile regains form just in time for Kenya-Namibia clash, should Harambee Stars be worried?
Namibia striker Peter Shalulile is now banging in goals freely for his South African club which should be a worry for Harambee Stars ahead of their must-win clash this month.
In a tactical switch aimed at bolstering their attack Shem Odinga made way for Ezekiel Omuri but City Stars maintained their dominance.
Despite a golden opportunity to extend the lead in the 42nd minute following Emmanuel Lwangu's misstep Kelvin Etemesi's shot went straight into Ochieng's hands leaving City Stars 1-0 up at halftime.
A goal down at the break, Shabana started the second half strongly in search of an equalizer but found the hosts a tough nut to crack, most notably when Brian Michira looked set to score from close range but was denied by a brilliant challenge from Calvins Masawa.
Kelvin Omondi squandered an opportunity after the hour mark, the striker was picked out by Marvin Brian but managed to blast over from 12-yards out.
Timothy Muganda then passed up a chance to extend City Stars the lead in the 69th minute as he headed wide of the mark from point-blank range.
