It goes without saying that Nzoia Sugar FC are so far the surprise package of the 2022-23 Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) season.Nobody would have predicted at the beginning of the season that the Millers would at one point be sitting on giants like Gor Mahia and Tusker at the top of the pile after ten rounds of fixtures.But that is the fairytale run the coach Salim Babu’s has enjoyed, winning six out of ten, including an impressive 4-0 routing of Wazito in their last outing on Wednesday.Babu, a former Kenyan international, says it’s nothing out of the blues. “I told my players from the start that if you want to win then you must play good football, and enjoy yourselves, that way wins will automatically come.””You equally need to attack and defend well. So far it has worked for us and we thank God.”##NAJAVA_MECA_6955285##Aside from Tusker FC (15), Nzoia Sugar is one of the highest scoring teams in the league with 12 goals. Also, their defense is one of the meanest and have only conceded four times. Gor Mahia (3), who have played two games less, boasts the most solid backline.As the cliche goes, reaching the top is not the hardest part of any adventure, but staying there, and Babu knows this very well. Zico opens up on reason for KCB’s perfect record this year”We’re not going to out any pressure on ourselves, our target is to win our next game, basically, we’re taking things a match at a time. At the end of the season we shall see where we are, but I’m sure the strong start to the season will land us somewhere respectable even without going all the way.”After the bumper harvest against Wazito, Nzoia will hit the road on Sunday for an acid test against a resurgent Police FC.
