Gor Mahia recovered from their first defeat to collect maximum points against Western Stima on Monday
Gor Mahia youth team beat Western Stima 2-1 to register their first win in two matches of the ongoing KPL U-20 tournament.
Coach Maaurice Onyango was keen not to make any mistake after falling to Posta Rangers on the opening day and let his tactics walk the talk on Monday, December 19, at Camp Toyoyo grounds. Hillary Ojwang’ opened the scoring in the 35th minute guiding K’Ogalo juniors to a 1-0 lead at half-time before adding another goal in the second half.
Nahashon Thiong’o was the lad with the second goal few minutes from the breather but his goal acted as a wakeup call to Western Stima who scored their lone goal in the 70th minute courtesy of Victor Ogendo. Hesbon Nyabinge’s hopes of gaining momentum to equalize never materialize as Gor Mahia proceted their lead to the final whistle.
Well done team. But I will be happier if U20 team becomes a talent pipeline for the senior team.
Mapinduzi cup fixtures have been released to start on 31st of this month. Azam, Simba and Yanga are among the teams that will participate. Gor Mahia declined the invitation yet KPL is currently on holiday. What excuses do we have? Stop diverting our attention using this U-20 tournament.
If you sincerely long to gauge your ability and preparations for next season, be brave enough and attend the tournament in Zanzibar.
Where are players, they are on holiday and I think the deserve it. You do not participate in a tournament just for the sake of it.
We want transfer updates please, why all this suspense. Why is the team not at Mapinduzi cup tournament?
Elections were over two weeks ago and then bang!!!, a roaring silence, what is this?
If the office is already dead, the team is not – someone please speak up
Relax Jambita Tiny and JGT.
Let’s give the office time. They were elected just the other day, 8 years not withstanding, Mapinduzi is not important we have the sofaloaf, butterflies and savanah cement for friendlies.
Will Shakava join Zesco? Haloooo
Transfer updates please
In fact that office seems happy hakuna Champions league; they must be on holiday
The other very important event the new office should implement is Gor Mahia Awards-for players, officials and members. This is more important than the fan days and should include member award e.g best/biggest branch, though i don’t see the future of branches given e-registration and possible voting, longest serving member(s), best idea from member, best EC member nominated by members etc. Tusker, Zesco even Mathare have awards for their clubs GMFC should follow suit.
