It was a commendable performance by Gor Mahia at the 2015 CECAFA club cup. Finishing second is no easy task considering how poorly Gor Mahia played in 2014. It will provide the impetus for a better performance next time.<\/p>\n

FKF chair Sam Nyamweya released a statement congratulating Gor Mahia.<\/p>\n

“We salute Gor Mahia for reaching the finals of the CECAFA Kagame cup, as all Kenyans we had high expectations, read the statement.<\/p>\n

The Performances by both teams should not dampen our spirits as we forge ahead of our next International assignments” said Nyamweya in reference to Gor Mahia and the women’s national team which narrowly lost to South Africa.<\/p>\n

With CECAFA finished, Gor Mahia now shift focus back to the local scene. The players are still fatigued after playing a marathon six games in two weeks in the heat and humidity of Dar es Salaam.<\/p>\n

The good news is that Gor Mahia have time to rest. The next fixture is not until Wednesday August 12 when they take on Ushuru FC.<\/p>\n

Coach Frank Nuttall will be working on ensuring that his lads get enough rest, have put their dissapointment behind them and\u00a0 and are in the right frame of mind to take on Ushuru FC.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe boys did well in the tournament; they kept going in every game despite being written off and were it not for a few lapses in concentration we\u2019d have bagged the title. We are not perfect as people may think; we still have a lot to do especially when it comes to defending set pieces.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two weeks were great but the tournament is now over and we have the premier league to focus on. We have a tough task there to defend the title and it is my hope that the players will recover fast from the loss and concentrate on what we have at hand,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Following the Ushur match, Gor Mahia will be in action again 3 days later when they take on fast rising KCB FC.<\/p>\n
