Gor Mahia skipper Philemon Otieno is adamant that the race for the 2022-23 Football Kenya Federation Premier League crown is far from determined.‘Mbish’ as he’s fondly referred to skippered K’Ogalo to a 2-1 loss to arch rivals AFC Leopards in the Mashemeji Derby last weekend.The setback gave Tusker FC, who beat Kariobangi Sharks 1-0, a window to regain the lead on the standings with just four games to go.Kapenguria Heroes out to reclaim Chapa Dimba Na Safaricom glory“I would like to urge our fans not to give up, but rally behind us more than before,” the former Ushuru FC player told Mozzart Sport.”There is still a lot to fight for and we are equal to the task despite the derby disappointment,” he added.Gor Mahia will not be playing competitively until 28 May 2023 when they travel to Tusker FC in a top-of-the-table clash that could potentially decide the title race.”It is a big game and we want to get a positive result from it. As players, we sat down and evaluated our performance against Leopards and also agreed to make amends in the coming games,” Otieno said.##NAJAVA_MECA_7268556##Tusker will have a distraction in the Mozzart Bet Cup this weekend when they face Ulinzi Stars in the semi-finals.”The league or our form is not on our minds.
