Muhoroni Youth’s last stand: Win or relegation

Muhoroni Youth have to beat Nzoia Sugar FC in today’s FKF Premier League duel in Mumias, or they will be relegated from the Kenyan Premier League, ending a turbulent campaign.Muho Youth currently occupy the second slot from the bottom of the log with 28 points. Sofapaka FC, who hold the playoff spot, are four points ahead, meaning that Muhoroni must win today and hope that both Sofapaka and Shabana FC, each with 32 points, falter against Nairobi City Stars and Bidco United, respectively, ahead of Sunday’s season finale.##NAJAVA_MECA_8167945##The club made coaching changes on Tuesday, parting ways with coach Nick Okinyi and replacing him with former Nzoia Sugar FC coach Steve Biko for the final two matches, hoping he will turn their fortunes around.However, their hopes were further dealt a blow when defender Alex Onchwari left for Tanzania for talks with an unnamed side. He missed Saturday’s game against Talanta, which they lost, and he is certain to miss the remaining two games.Nzoia Sugar FC, already relegated, will play for pride.
