Shabana have their eyes fixed on the top three bracket and bragging rights when they play Gusii United at the Narok Stadium on Tuesday in a National Super League clash.The former giants lost ground in their search for the elusive promotion after losing to MCF and sharing spoils with Migori Youth in their last two matches,a run which saw them drop to fifth with 42 points, two within the top three points. The match brings the two Kisii based clubs which command sizeable following from the huge football fan base in the region. Shabana boss Robert Ojienda believes that they will carry the day despite missing three injured key players whom he declined to reveal their identities. “This is a derby and we can not afford to bow to our brothers. We haven’t won in our last two matches and it will be sweet to beat our neighbours and bounce back. I will be without three players but that is not an excuse as we have prepared without them in our minds, ” he said.Enkakenya sidai Narok? Matchday: ✅ ✊ LET’S GO!
