Gor Mahia striker Benson Omalla has his sights set firmly on victory in the upcoming Mashemeji derby against longstanding rivals AFC Leopards, to be held this Sunday, April 21 at Nyayo National Stadium.

Gor Mahia will host AFC Leopards at the Nyayo Stadium during the next instalment of the Mashemeji derby after the fixture date was switched to Sunday April 21. The match was initially planned to be played on Saturday April 20 but with the Nyayo Stadium hosting the Kip Keino Classic and Kasarani closed for renovation, K’Ogalo did not have a suitable venue for the match and were exploring the possibility of hosting it in Machakos. However, that decision did not go down well with many fans who felt the Kenyatta Stadium does not have capacity to host the high-risk match…
Gor Mahia opened a nine-point lead at the top of the FKF Premier League table after coming from behind to beat basement side Nzoia Sugar 2-1 in Bungoma on Saturday 13, April. Just like their last meeting last December when K’Ogalo had to come from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw, the champions were pegged back again at the Sudi Stadium when Nzoia took a 1-0 lead after 26 minutes. Daniel Simiyu converted a penalty to give Nzoia hope of an unlikely upset but they could not hold on for long as the lively Shariff Musa equalised for Gor Mahia…
Gor Mahia head coach Johnathan McKinstry is bullish that his charges will bounce back to winning ways when they take on relegation-threatened Nzoia Sugar in a crucial FKF Premier League fixture at Sudi Stadium on Saturday 13th 2024. The reigning champions saw their three-game winning run halted last weekend after battling to a 0-0 draw against a stubborn Kakamega Homeboyz, a result that cut their lead at the summit to eight points from 25 points. A win should have seen K’Ogalo open a 10-point gap but according to McKinstry, they will make amends against the Sugar Millers. “Anytime we play…
Gor Mahia head coach Johnathan McKinstry feels his player’s ability to play in different positions is an added advantage to them as they push to retain their title. K’Ogalo opened an eight-point lead over Tusker FC and Bandari following a goalless draw against Kakamega Homeboyz on Saturday April 6 but it is a game that showcased the flexibility of some of their players. Right-back Rooney Onyango played in a more advanced role, and would occasionally tuck inside, the same to winger Shariff Musa as Gor Mahia caused Homeboyz plenty of problems in the first half with only poor finishing letting…
