At this time last year, Gor Mahia had scored almost 30 goals. This year Gor Mahia have only scored 14 goals. With that in mind, Chairman Ambrose Rachier has said that the club wants to bring two strikers on board including Meddie Kagere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are talking to Kagere and other possible strikers because we have realized that our striking force has been a little bit bland when our dependable striker is injured. It\u2019s not that others are not good enough but we want to sharpen the striking force. I spoke to him on Friday and most likely he will be coming back. I can confirm that during the window we intent to sign one or two strikers&#8221; said Rachier to Citizen sports.<\/p>\n<p>Kagere was a key performer in Gor Mahia&#8217;s unbeaten season in 2015. However he did not re-sign with the club in January as he could not agree to terms. Kagere has been seen training with the team at Camp Toyoyo numerous times this season.<\/p>\n<p>Rachier has also announced that the club will not recruit heavily this mid season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe won\u2019t do a heavy recruitment during the transfers, we are lucky to have a coach who is proactive and has suggested the name of the players that he wants. So we are waiting for the window to open then we engage other players who the coach has suggested,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h3>New Sponsor set to come on board<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/gormahia.net\/images\/power-gold.jpg\" width=\"86\" height=\"227\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia are set to bring on board a third sponsor. Power Gold, a Dubai based energy drink company is set to sponsor Kogalo to the tune of Ksh 15 million.\u00a0 This is according to Hussein Terry, the Managing Director of the company.<\/p>\n<p>The deal is worth Kshs 15 Million. Ksh 12 million will be used to buy the club a modern state of the art bus next season. The remainder will be used to provide energy drinks and training kits to the club immediately we put pen to paper.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We (Power Gold energy drink) have initiated talks with AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia to help the clubs in their day-to-day activities as far sponsorship is concerned. The first Kshs 12 million for each club will be used to provide them a modern bus apiece while the remaining Kshs 3 million will be used for kiting. We will then get to our normal Kshs 15 million package for each team thereafter &#8221; said Hussein Terry to futaa.com<\/p>\n<p>Terry also hinted at bringing arch rivals AFC Leopards on board.<\/p>\n<p>This event would bring the number of Gor Mahia sponsors to three including Sportpesa and Crown Beverages.<\/p>\n<h3>Ze Maria gives Stima Credit<\/h3>\n<figure style=\"width: 382px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gormahia.net\/images\/kahata-celeb-stima16.jpg\" width=\"382\" height=\"294\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kahata celebrates after scoring his first goal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Gor Mahia tactician Jose Marcelo has admitted that Western Stima proved a difficult opponent on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are a good team and my congratulation to them. They fought hard for the 95 minutes and have winning mentality. I have good players and I have confidence for them so I gave them this chance and they gave result which is important,\u201d he said to supersport.<\/p>\n<p>It took super substitute Francis Kahata to unlock Stima in the match at the final minute of added minute of added time through a powerful header.<\/p>\n<p>But Ze Maria has also lauded his team&#8217;s fighting spirit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tell my players to fight to the final minute. Do not give up. I am happy with the way the boys gave their all to the end,\u201d said Ze Maria.<\/p>\n<p>It was an inspired move to bring in Enock Agwanda and Francis Kahata.
