With Kakamega Homeboyz set to face KCB in the quarters on Saturday at the Police Sacco Grounds,Glen Masava is hoping to inspire the defending champions to a win over the bankers. Homeboyz were bailed out by 18-year-old midfielder Oliver Majaka in the Mozzart Bet Cup round of sixteen against Tusker.Majaka struck the lone goal in the contest staged at the Mamboleo Stadium in Kisumu to see his side advance to the last eight of the tournament.##NAJAVA_MECA_8056179##Both Masava and Majaka joined Homeboyz in the mid-season transfer window and are among the youngest players at the club, having completed their secondary school studies a year ago. Masava, who has managed a couple of assists since joining Homeboyz, revealed his wish of scoring his first Homeboyz goal in the game against KCB and joining the list of the club’s players who have scored in the tournament this year. The Homeboyz have scored three goals in the tournament and conceded none. Incidentally, all the goals have been scored by young midfielders, as Hillary Juma scored a brace in the round of 32.”The team reached the quarterfinals courtesy of Majaka’s goal in the round of sixteen. If he managed to score at the big stage and against an opponent of Tusker’s calibre, then I am able to do it against KCB if I get playing time. I hope to score in the game and help the team get to the semis,” said Masava. Police Sacco Stadium to host Mozzart Bet Cup quarterfinals this weekendDespite coming up against a side that hasn’t scored in three successive league matches, Masava called on his teammates to put their best foot forward and win the game. KCB, who are under the tutelage of Bernard Mwalala, an ex-Homeboyz coach, have been struggling to score goals recently, as the team has gone for more than 270 minutes without a goal. “We have to prepare adequately and give the opponent the respect they deserve. It will not be an easy game considering that it is a knockout,” said the youngster.
