They may have failed to break Nakumatt FC, but this result ensured that Posta Rangers’ unbeaten record remained intact after 11 rounds of matches.
John Nairuka and Simon Mbugua threatened dangerously, but neither of them was able to get past Nakumatt goalkeeper Sammy Okinda.
At the Thika Stadium, the hosts escaped with a point after enduring heavy pressure from the visitors.
Ali Bhai and Wycliffe Ochomo combined well upfront for Kakamega Homeboyz, but were wasteful to a point where coach Mike Mururi was forced to withdraw the latter immediately after the interval.
Having lost two matches in a row, Thika presented a highly defensive game, although Benson Iregi and Eric Adem each had a chance at goal in the opening stages of the game.
In another league match, Allan Wanga opened accounts for Tusker FC against Sony Sugar with a rasping shot that bounced in off the crossbar.
Tusker captain James Situma brought down Amon Muchiri in the danger area, and Amos Asembeka stepped up to convert the resultant penalty to restore parity in the match.
Mike Khamati then delivered the match winner with a low shot in the 61st minute after some good work by Brian Mandela.
