The match will take place at City Stadium on Saturday October 12 at 4:30 pm.<\/p>\n<p>The other quarter finals pit AFC Leopards against Karuturi Sports, Sofapaka against Finlays and SoNy Sugar against Mathare.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia will be keen to defend the title they have won in the last two years. Among the players Gor Mahia will be counting on is the new sensation Joseph Wanyonyi who has made quite an impression in his first two games. \u201cI wanted to give my best in my first game and I am happy that I did that. I wanted to score to cap the day for me but then at the end of the day, the most important thing is the team winning. My target from here is to work hard and ensure I get a chance in the starting team,\u201d he notes. \u201cThe team has been encouraging me a lot, the experienced players have given me a lot of support and it is on that support that I want to anchor my growth.\u00a0The coach has been awesome as well and what I like about him is that he is very friendly, funny at times but very serious in his work,\u201d concluded Wanyonyi. said Wanyonyi to The people newspaper.<\/p>\n<p>He also indicated that he was initially set to join AFC. \u201cI wanted to play for Leopards very much because my father who is also a former Leopards player wanted me to play for them. However, they wanted me to go for trials first, but I found that demeaning. They had already seen me play for the National Under 20 team and the experience I got while playing for Aspire made me an established player,\u201d said Wanyonyi.<\/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-take-on-western-stima-next\/\"\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>After beating Shabana FC and Thika United in the opening rounds of the GolTV shield, Gor Mahia next take on<\/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-3097","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3097","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=3097"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3097\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3097"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3097"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3097"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
