Gor Mahia will be hoping to continue their recent run of good form. In particular, the resurgence of the forwardline partnership between Rama Salim and Dan Sserunkuma.<\/p>\n<h3>Williamson Happy with performance<\/h3>\n<p>Following Gor Mahia&#8217;s clinical performance against Thika on Sunday, coach Bobby Williamson was happy with the team&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a very tough match and I\u2019m glad we emerged winners in the end. I think we played very well and controlled most parts of the match,\u201d Williamson said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI honestly think we could have scored even more goals. Thika United\u2019s goal too was questionable. The handball (by Harun Shakava) was not deliberate and therefore it shouldn\u2019t have been a penalty but that happens in football, referee decisions work in your favour at times and at other times not,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Williamson also heaped praises on forwards Dan Sserenkuma and Rama Salim, saying their partnership had once again proved fruitful.<\/p>\n<h3>Muhoroni no pushovers<\/h3>\n<p>Muhoroni are determined to continue their recent run of good form that has seen them hold Tusker and Thika United and beat Western Stima. To achieve this, Muhoroni Youth had eight hours of rigorous training at Kisumu\u2019s Moi Stadium on Friday and Saturday to enable the players get used to the Astro turf. After the sessions, coach Francis Baraza and manager Mike Odongo said they were ready to face Gor Mahia. \u201cWe brought the team here (to Kisumu) to avoid the rains that have been pounding Muhoroni area and also to help the team get used to artificial turf. \u201cI\u2019m impressed by the boys\u2019 response and we are now ready for the Wednesday encounter,\u201d said Baraza as the team left for Nairobi yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Starting Line-up:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>David Juma, Musa Mohammed, Israel Emuge, Haron Shakava, Godfrey Walusimbi, Baba Kizito, Eric Ochieng, George Odhiambo, Shaban Kenga, Rama Salim,Danni Sserunkuma.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Substitutes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fredrick Onyango -GK, Kevin Oluoch, Anthony Akumu, Simon Pierre, Jared Obwoge, Daniel Onyango, Joseph Kariuki.<\/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-muhoroni-youth\/\"\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 will take on Muhoroni Youth on Wednesday at the Nairobi city stadium in yet another midweek match.
