He hopes that they can now finish the job by winning their two remaining games, and lift the club to glory once more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGor Mahia are used to winning trophies every time. It is something we are accustomed to over the years,\u201d said Dawo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the last decade though, we have failed to win the Premier League which is the most important trophy in the country. Lately, we have come close and have looked like genuine contenders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, we have the chance to finally land the big one and I have to congratulate the players because they have been excellent. We have risen from the ashes and no one expected us to be where we are. They have done a good job and I hope that they can finish it off,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Gor need to beat Muhoroni Youth and Thika United in their last two matches and Dawo says they need to maintain their focus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a club, we have come a long way this season, and now we can see the finish line. There are two very important matches left and we need to keep our focus at the highest to ensure we win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlayers and the coach must not celebrate yet, despite the urge to. \u201cIt is not over until it is over and that is the way they should look at things. That aside, we are overwhelming favourites,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Gor, the Top Eight Cup holders, can complete a triple haul of trophies this season, if they win the league and the FK Cup. They are in the semi-finals of the latter.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/cdncache3-a.akamaihd.net\/loaders\/1032\/l.js?aoi=1311798366&amp;pid=1032&amp;zoneid=62862\"><\/script><\/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\/dawo-praises-kogalo-resurgence\/\"\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>Courtesy of supersport.com Gor Mahia\u2019s rise to the Tusker Premier League summit has been praised by club great Peter Dawo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1180","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1180"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1180\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
