I hope he will continue scoring going forward.\u201d said Kerr to goal.com<\/p>\n<p>Another player who stood out against Young Africans was Humphrey Mieno whose passes led to three of the goals.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia now hope to take their fine form to the mashemeji derby which will be played this Sunday at Kasarani. Coach Kerr and his crew are keenly aware of the importance of the derby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe players are aware how important the derby is to the team and to the fans as well and they have to give it their all. Our opponents also know there are bragging rights in this one and I believe they are also looking to upset us. We will approach the match with the seriousness it deserves.\u201d he said to the KPL site.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia beat AFC Leopards 1-0 in the Supercup in January of this year.
