The  first match pitted Kogalo against Migori combined whom they beat 4-1  with goals from Kitawi, Wekesa and a double from Kiplagat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\">The  annual tour which has a history going back to the 1970s is targeted at  shoring up the club&#8217;s support in upcountry areas, strengthening  upcountry branches and introducing upcountry fans to the players many of  whom only hear about them on the radio or in the papers. It is for this  reason that fan attendance at such tours is huge even for simple  practice sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\">Earlier  on, Gor Mahia identified 5 players\u00a0 from South Nyanza for trials during  the Hillary Alila Youth Tournament at the Homa Bay Municipal Stadium.  The players include; Homa Bay\u2019s Mlimani FC trio Yusuf Mohamed, Ken  Obiero, Hassan Arina, Karungu FC\u2019s Calvince Odoyo and\u00a0 perhaps the most  interesting , Shauriyako FC\u2019s Roy Okal who is also set to attend trials  with Italian side Parma.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\">Kogalo  has a history of identifying gems from upcountry locales. Legendary  players like Bobby Ogolla, Tobias Ocholla, Allan Thigo etc were  identified from upcountry teams.<\/span><\/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-start-upcountry-tour\/\"\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&#8217;s annual tour of Nyanza province began in earnest this week.
