Charles Momanyi was outstanding for Tusker in March leading him to bagging the Player of the Month accolade.

Charles Momanyi has been named Tusker FC Player of the Month for March 2025 following an outstanding series of performances for the brewers.

Momanyi, who also skippers Tusker, becomes the third brewers' player to be awarded this year. Hawk-eyed striker Ryan Ogam won the award in January before midfielder Chrispine Erambo bagged the accolade last month. Momanyi walked home with a shopping voucher worth Sh50,000 and a personalized trophy.

The defender emerged the winner after receiving the highest number of votes (20) from a total of 41 cast, edging out fellow nominees in defenders Alex Onchwari and George Kaddu, goalkeeper Brian Opondo, and youth team graduate David Polepole.

Momanyi expressed his gratitude saying:  “I am truly honored to receive this award. Being recognized by my teammates and coaches means a lot to me because they see the hard work we put in every day. At Tusker, we believe in pushing ourselves to the highest standards, and I couldn’t have achieved this without the support of my teammates, the technical staff, and the management.

"This award is not just for me—it is for the entire team, the Tusker FC family. We are all working towards one goal, and I will continue giving my best to ensure we achieve success this season. I look forward to lifting the trophy at the end of the season."

In the five league matches, Momanyi helped the Brewers keep three clean sheets in the barren draws against Kenya Police, Gor Mahia, and Bandari FC. He played a role in seeing Tusker secure a 1-1 draw against Shabana as well as in the 2-1 win against Posta Rangers.

In the FKF Cup, he was instrumental as the Charles Okere charges beat Gucha Youth 2-1 in the Round of 64 before bowing out in post-match penalties after a 1-1 draw with Nairobi United in the Round of 32.

Tusker FC currently sit second on the FKF Premier League log with 44 points, one behind league leaders Kenya Police, who are on 45 points. Next up for the Brewers is an encounter against Bidco United at Machakos Stadium on Saturday, March 29. 

The 13-time league champions seek to record back-to-back wins and extend their unbeaten streak to 10 games.
