After dismissing SS Assad in the round of 32 match of the 2018 Shield, Gor Mahia will next play Kenpoly FC on Wednesday. The match will be played at Machakos.<\/p>\n
Kenpoly are\u00a0 in the Nairobi County League where they are unbeaten. Though they are several tiers below the KPL, they are undaunted.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve informed the boys not to panic because Gor is above us by miles but we want to use the platform to learn. Through this match we will notice our weaknesses and get the idea on how to play our football,\u201d said club chairman Geoffrey Matayoh to the Nation.<\/p>\n
Coach Dylan Kerr for his part does not want his players to under-rate their opponents.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve to give our opponents utmost respect because it\u2019s a massive scalp for them in a cup fixture so we\u2019ve to be ready,\u201d he said to the Nation.<\/p>\n
Gor Mahia have won the domestic cup 10 times, which is more than any other team. Second are arch rivals AFC Leopards with 9 cups. However Gor Mahia’s last win was in 2012 when they beat Sofapaka 3-0 on penalties in the final.<\/p>\n
Whereas arch rivals AFC have been very active in the transfer market, Gor Mahia have yet to make any significant signing. This comes as a surprise given the backlog of fixtures that Gor Mahia faces.<\/p>\n
And it comes at a time when it has been announced that neither Karim Nizigiyimana nor Wellington Ochieng will return this season.<\/p>\n
Ochieng is said to have recoevered phsyically as displayed by MRI scans. But he has not recovered psychologically. According to Jolawi Obondo, Ochieng returned to training but has been tentative and avoiding tackles.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe needs time to recover physically and psychologically,\u201dObondo said to Citizen FM<\/p>\n
