All we can do now is focus on what is ahead of us,\u201d Owino told the club\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s important we took our first six points in the league and now we can move up and look forward to the next game against Western Stima,\u201d he added. \u201cWe need to forget about the two games against Esperance. Tunis was an experience against a big team, they were very good against us and we took one or two learnings which I believe will be helpful in our league title defense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must now react in a positive way in the league. I\u2019m not dwelling on it and hopefully none of the other players are dwelling on it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<h3>Sserunkuma denies Mazembe link<\/h3>\n<div itemprop=\"articleBody\">\n<p>The Ugandan import has revealed to Goal that he has no intentions of leaving K\u2019Ogalo and has termed reports linking him to the DRC club as rumours<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia forward Dan Sserunkuma has refuted reports linking him to TP Mazembe of the Democratic Republic of Congo.<\/p>\n<p>Sserunkuma said on Thursday he is in Gor Mahia to stay and such reports were mere rumours.
