We can work on such ahead of the next game and keep our eyes on the ultimate prize, the title.”Wanyama hopeful of double success in first season with Gor MahiaThe chase for the top spot has just gotten juicier with both sides separated by a single goal and coach Joseph Wambua’s Ulinzi patiently waiting to pounce on any slip-ups as they are three points behind, having won six matches, one less than the leading duo and lost once.Kibera Soccer who on the weekend picked a 5-4 win against the visiting Bungoma Queens are not to be wished away.
