Kakamega Homeboyz head coach Bernard Mwalala has called on everyone within the club to rally behind the team heading into the final five assignments of the season where Homeboyz will be keen on winning their first-ever league title.Homeboyz’s recent slump has seen them lose their advantage at the top of the FKF Premier League. At some point, they had a 12-point buffer at the top but that has since been reduced to just one point with the title race now in its final stretch.Last weekend’s defeat to second-placed Tusker dealt Mwalala’s charges a big blow as it not only extended their winless run to five but also cut their once massive advantage to a solitary point, a lead that could be lost this coming weekend.Kakamega Homeboyz’s third and fourth goals against Ulinzi Stars were malicious.

The youthful tactician has called for unity within his ranks opining that they still have everything under control.”It is time for the fans to rally behind the team and try to push them for the final five games. We haven’t won in our last five matches and we now need to put our heads together and support the team. We still have a one-point advantage and it means we can win the league by winning all our matches. I urge everyone associated with the team that we pull in the same direction and I am confident that we can finish top at the end of the season because we still have control of our fate, “he stated.The tactician further sees positives in the loss to the Brewers. He believes it is a good opportunity for his troops to bounce back with less pressure on their back.”We dropped points but there is a silver lining in it. We had picked four dross before the loss to Tusker but to be honest in those four games our performance wasn’t good, we struggled. Losing eases the pressure I was seeing in the boys and gives us a chance to respond and bounce back, we’ve recovered well from our last two sources, and heading into our game against KCB, I am very confident,” he stated.Homeboyz will take on the Bankers on Sunday 15 May at Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega.
