Blackberry, Wendo, Musa in action as Kenya sail to final

Harambee stars survived a strong challenge from Burundi to win a 1-0 win in the CECAFA senior challenge cup semis on Thursday. The all important goal came from Whyvonne Isuza 7 minutes into extra time.

The back four of Gor Mahia defender and skipper Musa Muhammed, Jockins Atudo, Dennis Sikhayi and Wesley Onguso that has started in all matches in the tournament was the most outstanding department and ensured yet another clean sheet. Harambee stars have yet to concede a goal in this tournament.

“Our opponents were tough especially in first half but the boys kept on fighting and our persistence paid off with a goal in extra time. We still have a lot to do having in mind that the team we play in the final will also be there by merit,” said Put.

Kenyan champions Gor Mahia FC are in contact with former Bechem United midfielder Solomon Mensah over a possible transfer, GHANAS occernet.com can exclusively reveal.

Mensah became free agent after refusing to renew his contract with the Hunters which expired at the end of the 2016/2017 season.

Gor Mahia FC head coach Dylan Kerr is keen on acquiring the services of the workaholic midfielder as he aims at defending their title.

Kerr has also targeted to reach Group stage of the 2018 CAF Champions League.

The box-to-box midfielder played a significant role in the 2015/2016 season to help Bechem United clinch their first ever silverware-the MTN FA Cup.

    It’s good to know that we are active in the market so far. What I don’t understand is how many foreigners we are allowed to recruit. with Baptiste replaced by Guikan how else do we still pursue others. Or have we been given a some leeway due to our continental assignments?

    Got signs Lawrence Juma at least according to Futaa. Good news as he is a top class midfielder capable of filling Muguna’s shoes should he leave for Tirana

    Gor signs 3 more players one Ekale Lokudet a striker from Kenyatta University who was ulinzi stars under 20 main striker,Sidney Okiro attacking midfielder from bidco and Lawrence Juma from Nzoia.Now question is why release Antony Mbugua aka Baggio,Softie and Jeconia Uyoga then bring the two,Juma ofcourse is fantastic,but do the other two make sense replacing already tested players?On this ghanaian i believe Waza’s contract is over and due for renewal talks so unless someone plans to release him and replace with the ghanaian,on which i dont advocate losing jaja walu

      It was reported months ago that Jaja already renewed his contract. The only person who never renewed was Blackberry

    Let the office and technical bench members do their work in signing players without any undue pressure from fans and bloggers.

      Jamigori iero somo ne ji sana. People are just expressing their wishes and the EC and TB do not have to listen. Who has pressured them?

    I watched the match live in kisumu but I think wendo is top class and no one can replace him except wanyama. So those who bring the Ghanaian to replace wendo are daydreaming. Wendo is mature and if we loose him to any team, we will leave to regret it. We should only be concerned about attacking midfielder to replace miguna who is rumoured to be leaving. Wendo even dethrone colins okoth. Kudos wendo for the game well played.
