Ambitious newbies Kenya Police FC will be seeking to quickly turn around their lethargic start to life in the top flight Football Kenya Federation Premier League when they host a visiting Nzoia Sugar in Wednesday’s early kick off match being played at Kasarani Annex Stadium.Since their promotion to the top-tier league in the 2021/2022 campaign, the administrators, under the guidance of John Bobby Ogolla, have gone from minnows to strong candidates after completing the key acquisitions of seasoned veterans Clifton Miheso, John Mark Makwatta, Duncan Otieno and most recently former Gor Mahia captain Musa Mohammed, names that are expected to quickly find their footing and go all the way in securing their position in the league. Hell, even fight for a top ten finish.Police capture stalwarts Makwata and Musa MohamedBut as their second game of the season proved, names are not everything. Despite having fielded Miheso and Makwatta in the encounter against Nairobi City Stars, the duo could not instantly help the team as they succumbed to a 0-2 defeat, a second loss in as many matches where the law enforcers have played without being even able to find the back of the net while they have conceded thrice.However, since completing the exciting signings of the experienced players, Police feel like a totally different side altogether that has a new lease of fresh air breathed into it. Reflecting on their last game and looking onto the next fixture, team manager George Maelo bemoaned his hitherto team’s defensive problems as he promised to have them do better in their next match so as to get off the mark as soon as possible.”We gifted City Stars easy goals in our last match. It is something we are working on and I believe we will be better equipped in our games to come after the team gets to gel with each other,” he said.##NAJAVA_MECA_5911870##Just as Police, Ibrahim Shikanda’s Nzoia are also yet to register a win to their name this season. But unlike Police, Nzoia have one point earned from their matchday two fixture where they forced a barren stalemate against Sofapaka.The clash at Kasarani Annex will be the very first time that the two sides play each other in the top flight.The match kicks off at 1300EAT.
