Tough tackling right-back Brian Birgen is hoping to Ulinzi Stars can quench their 11-year wait for a league title after posting a decent start to the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL).The Soilders are one of only three clubs who have maintained their unbeaten run alongside Gor Mahia and Kakamega Homeboyz after a barren draw against K’Ogalo on Wednesday.🚨 Full time reaction!Ulinzi Stars FC 0-0 Gor Mahia FC ✅ Sisi kama Gor tunashukuru sana kwa hiyo draw jothurwa!😎📸 Courtesy pic.twitter.com/iM4vTDpwFv— Ulinzi Stars FC (@UlinziStarsFC) November 3, 2021 Speaking to Mozzart Sport, Birgen revealed that he would love to see the title return back to Nakuru with the last time the club landed the title being back in 2010.“Winning the league is our ultimate goal and that is what we are working for, we will settle for nothing short of that,” said Birgen.Following the exit of Benjamin Nyangweso, Ulinzi have been a rejuvenated side under the stewardship of Stephen Ocholla as they seem to move away from power play to a more possession-based football. The signing of Hillary Simiyu from Nzoia Sugar has added more firepower to their attack as he scored in the 2-0 win over AFC Leopards with Kevin Ouma also being a shield in defense that has seen them concede once this season.Birgen added that they set their sights on starting the season with a bang before the campaign kicked off and are now reaping the benefits. ✅ The son of Baringo County pale Eldama Ravin; Brian ‘Ndovu/Yobo’ Birgen Kiptum is arguably the best right-back in the country😎. #WeSoldierOn#GBUS pic.twitter.com/v9ceVuenJU— Ulinzi Stars FC (@UlinziStarsFC) October 30, 2021 “During pre-season, we talked and we decided we will give our all and try and have a good start in the past season we have been struggling with our first games of the season,”“We have managed to have a good start with the hard work we have put in and God is finally answering our prayers,” added Birgen.
