Lawrence Juma added another and Kenpoly scored an own goal.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Dylan Kerr lauded his side for staying focused and playing well despite the glut of fixtures.<\/p>\n<p>The players\u2019 belief is amazing; we have had a tough schedule in the season but they keep going day by day and showing great team spirit. The dedication has been amazing and we can only laud them,\u201d he said said Kerr to futaa.com<\/p>\n<p>Some may take teams like Kenpoly for granted. But in past years, Gor Mahia were eliminated by lower tier teams. And the players cited fatigue as the reason. Such was the case in 2014 when GFE 105 of Eldoret eliminated K&#8217;Ogalo. In 2015, Nakumatt, then a lower tier side, eliminated Gor Mahia. \u00a0And in 2016, Gor Mahia were sunk by Nzoia Sugar which at the time was a lower tier team.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/gor-mahia-destroy-kenpoly-5-0-in-sportpesa-shield\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gor Mahia are through to the round of 16 in the 2018 Sportpesa Shield.
