FOOTBALL McKinstry confident Gor Mahia will not bottle title advantage in remaining 10 games
Gor Mahia coach Johnathan McKinstry is unfazed by the seven-point lead his team enjoy against both Tusker and Bandari as he feels they have enough to defend their league title.
Youngsters Paul Ochuoga and Mark Shaban earned call-ups to the national U20 team, Rising Stars, while leading striker Benson Omala, winger Shariff Musa, and defender Rooney Onyango have linked up with Engin Firat’s Harambee Stars for the Four Nations Tournament that will take place between Monday 18 and Tuesday 26 March in Malawi.
Gor Mahia enjoy a seven-point lead over both Tusker FC and Bandari, who appear to be the other teams with a realistic chance of dislodging them, with 10 matches still remaining.
K’Ogalo suffered a 1-0 loss to Bandari last weekend, just their second defeat this season, and will be hoping to right those wrongs when the league resumes on Saturday 6 April when they host Kakamega Homeboyz.
