The Mailmen were under a barren stretch of 11 matches without victory heading to the Police encounter on Friday
Posta Rangers head coach Collins ‘Korea’ Omondi turned philosophical following his side’s 2-0 victory over Kenya Police on Friday, 13 March, a result that ended The Mailmen’s search for a league first win in 2026.

Omondi, who was increasingly under pressure of turning around a free-falling Posta, appeared as the most stoic of men, after efforts from Jackson Macharia and Dinken Mwema fended the defending champions, ending his side’s run of 11 league games without victory.
“In life, there are seasons,” Omondi told Azam TV post-match. “Just like the weather, there is the wet and dry season. With the sun comes famine, and rain brings blessings. For us, the rainy season is here. It has arrived, and we are out of famine.”
Prior to the win at Kasarani Annex, Posta had last tasted a league win in December 2025, when The Mailmen beat Nairobi United 2-0.
To emphasize how long it took them to ‘finally see a drop of rain’, their two goal scorers on the day - Jackson Dwang and Brian Otieno - have long left the club, and established themselves at Gor Mahia and Kenya Police respectively.
Also over that winless spell, Posta had only kept two clean sheets, which constituted a run of nine-straight games heading to Friday.
Looking back at that ‘famine’, Omondi said: “I do not think we have been doing things wrongly. If you look at the last 10 games we played, there is none where we were overpowered. Instead, we were the ones in control, but we just could not score.”
Indeed, as Posta only scored only five goals during that run, a fact that was also not lost on veteran midfielder Jackson Macharia in a separate interview.
Now with the dry spell over, Omondi said it was time to look forward to the final stretch of the season.
“What happened is history, and history does not have a say on the present, nor the future,” he said. “It is in the past, and we have forgotten about it, just like we will do with today’s match.
Credit to the players for being persistent, it has been long since we got a win, but our challenge now is to try to look at the remaining games and see what we can do to win them all.
If we can stay 10 plus games without a win, then we can also win five, six or seven matches in a row. That is the challenge we have, and we will work to do that.”
