After the FKF refused to foot the travel bill and CECAFA declined because they are supposedly broke, Gor Mahia will now need to hold a fund-raiser to travel to Dar -es salaam for the CECAFA cup.<\/p>\n
CECAFA chair Nicholas Musonye declined to offer financial support saying he could not make an exception.<\/p>\n
“We are overwhelmed. They (Cecafa secretariat) told me they don’t have money. I had talks with my chairman (Leonard Tanga) and it\u2019s impossible. Again, when all the other federations are playing their part, why would Kenya be an exception?” he asked.<\/p>\n
“”It\u2019s very tight on our end because we are running on a shoe-string budget. However, I must point out that I like the brand of football Gor is playing and we would want to have them in the tournament,” Musonye explained to the Daily Nation.<\/p>\n
Club official Ronald Ngala said the club would hold a fund-raiser on Tuesday at Railway club. Nairobi businessman Sammy Wakiaga will be the chief guest. Unfortunately the club is not offering more information at this time.<\/p>\n
In past years, the government footed the travel bill since the clubs were representing the country. Nowadays the government does basically nothing to assist clubs with travel and other issues.<\/p>\n
Gor Mahia coach Frank Nuttall says his team has picked up the lessons from Sunday’s match against Mathare and is read to apply them when the team travels to Dar es salaam to play in the 2015 CECAFA club cup. Though Gor Mahia were adjudged to have had a sub par game by their standards, Nuttall thinks they earned the draw.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was a fair result since we dominated possession and also created chances managing to put one behind the net eventually,\u201d he said after the match.<\/p>\n
New signing Enock Agwanda was the toast of the game and fans called for him every-time there was a throw. One of his long throws eventually led to the equalizer.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis only shows that we still have the power having more crosses into their box. Agwanda played a great role of course he is good at set pieces though it is tiring for him as he has to move from one end of the pitch to another,\u201d said Nuttall.<\/p>\n
It is a scene reminiscent of the legendary Tobias Ocholla “Jua Kali” who also used to be called upon by fans to criss-cross the field every-time there was a throw in.<\/p>\n
His counterpart Stanley Okumbi for his part was dissapointed at the draw because he thought his team should have won.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a match we should have won, we wanted three points against them and that is what we were working on to achieve, unfortunately we could not hold on, and ended up conceding late into the game. It has become a habit for us to concede late, and it is a trend we have to stop,\u201d Okello said to goal.com.<\/p>\n
