Kakamega Homeboyz send trio packing as sour league loss takes toll“The squad remains almost intact since we have only released few players to join our opponents. I think we will still do well, only that we have to refocus and put our heads together with one target in mind because I know that we will have some challenges along the way,” he told Citizen.Imbenzi says the team is under no pressure whatsoever despite missing the league title by a whisker last season. “As much as it will look like we may have pressure, but we have been so consistent for the last three, four, five seasons where we have been finishing in the top five. Pressure will not be on us but on our opponents who will want to stop us from taking points from them,”
