Ours is an administrative role, and we let the technical bench do their job; we will just do the facilitation,” he added.The five unregistered players are central defender Emmanuel Lwanga, winger Victor Otieno, left-back Lauren James Olum, goalkeeper Abubakar Musha, and Ronald Sichenje, who joined Mathare United until the end of the season on a short-term deal.”We are looking forward to clinching the title” : Gor players confident ahead of crucial league fixtures
