This is according to futaa.com<\/p>\n<p>The selections will be conducted by trials. I urge all players who are interested in playing for Gor Mahia in the KPL U19 tournament to avail themselves for trials tomorrow (Friday), Omondi told <i>futaa.com. <\/i>I will select 25 players who will then undergo further assessment over the weekend before I select the final squad, he added to the blog.<\/p>\n<p>The trials kick off at 1600 Hours at the Police Band Grounds in South B, Nairobi.<\/p>\n<p>Korea himself was a member of the first ever Kenya U16 team in 1984. This is the team that visited Korea. It was that trip that earned him his nickname. He became Gor Mahia&#8217;s starting goalkeeper following the departure of the legendary David Ochieng &#8220;Kamoga&#8221; in 1989. Much like his namesake Tirus Omondi, he was a showman who thrived in showing off his acrobatic skills. He would dive full length to save even the simpler shots. He would later leave Gor Mahia in 1992 to join Kisumu Posta before returning again in 1994.<\/p>\n<p>He was recently the goalkeeper trainer of Gor Mahia before he left. This year he is the coach of FISA<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/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\/omondi-korea-to-assemble-u19-team\/\"\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>Former Gor Mahia goalkeeper Charles Omondi &#8220;Korea&#8221; has been assigned the task of assembling the Gor Mahia U19 team that<\/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-2793","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2793","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=2793"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2793\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
