The former Western Stima forward’s strike was enough to take advantage of a sloppy Posta Rangers defence.
Football Kenya Federation Premier League title chasers KCB kept their faint hopes alive when they shrugged off a three game winless run with a deserved 1-0 victory over jaded Posta Rangers at Ruaraka Grounds on Sunday afternoon.
In a game characterized by a lack of real clear inroads created by the two sides, Henry Onyango second half striker was sufficient to settle the game..
Posta had the lions' share of possession but were vulnerable to KCB on the transition. The first real opportunity came in the 39th minute when they won a free kick just on the edge of the area, but Musa Masika's attempted shot was taken behind for a corner kick.
Posta had the chance to score first just before the break when a cross by Brian Ndenga found Brian Chemweno, but he hit it wide of Bryne Omondi's net.

FKFPL Ken Kenyatta satisfied with Talanta's point over 'extravagantly assembled' Police
Talanta held Police to a 0-0 draw despite not training due to fatigue from travelling from Bungoma following their match against Nzoia Sugar over the past 72 hours.
A well constructed move by KCB found Apollo Otieno in the 44th minute, but his shot went way over the bar.
There was a moment of panic in the KCB box before the break when Posta captain Michael Apudo nearly converted a short drill past Omondi's near post, but a ricochet back to him meant he gave the ball away for a goal kick.
Both teams started fairly evenly in the second half, with no one creating any real goal scoring chances in the first five minutes , but that would soon change.
KCB drew first blood in the 50th minute through Henry Onyango who rattled the ball in off a perfectly timed volley.
The goal prompted Posta head coach, John Kamau into making attacking changes. In came Brian Marita for Geoffrey Ojunga.
