Battle of the titans – Homeboyz centre back eyes victory over Tusker

Kakamega Homeboyz centre back Sylvester Owino has cautioned his colleagues against a further slip up when they face their closest rivals Tusker this weekend in Nairobi.Homeboyz were sitting pretty at the top thanks to the eleven-point gap between them and Tusker but the lead has been cut to just four points following a series of unwanted results.The gap is likely to be eaten down further to a point should Mathare United dish another walkover, a development that will see their second leg results voided, including Homeboyz 3-1 win over the slum boys in February.Full Time:Kakamega Homeboyz 1-1 WazitoSunday Mutuku ’50 pic.twitter.com/9P9ATb0Ipr— Kakamega Homeboyz FC (@FcHomeboyz) May 1, 2022 Mathare who have given their last two league matches against four-time champions Ulinzi Stars and Bandari a wide berth are a walkover away from confirming relegation to the second tier.With six matches remaining in the season, Owino says the immediate focus is wiping the floor with Tusker who are unbeaten in the last sixteen matches and widening the gap again.Kakamega Homeboyz prodigy dreams big after making maiden appearance on the bench”The only way we can melt the pressure on our shoulders is by beating Tusker this weekend. We have to get the three points by all means if we are to get comfortable again. We invited the pressure and it is upon us to get it off,” said the youthful defender.When pressed for answers regarding the unwanted four successive draws, Owino regretted that the club was grappling with its lowest moment at a crucial stage of the season but tipped the technical bench to plot for recovery before the next game.Yema Mwana has been named our Player of The Month for March.#MozzartBet#wearehomeboyz#AbanaBeingo pic.twitter.com/EqQexVeKem— Kakamega Homeboyz FC (@FcHomeboyz) April 24, 2022 The former Vihiga Bullets man said they were doing everything right on the pitch but couldn’t understand the root to the decline in scoring touch and holes in the back line.”The players have been giving their best on the pitch but somehow, good results have been evading us. We are no longer creating chances like we used to do before and we are also conceding. One thing I am certain is the rough patch wont last long and will not cost us the ultimate goal,” he said.
