FKF Premier League side Mara Sugar FC are on their debut season in the top flight and so are some of their players. One of those is attacking midfielder Brian Ochieng who has now shared his thoughts on the difference between the top tier and the second tier.Ochieng had initially played in almost all tiers of Kenyan football; from Division 2 with Zoo FC Youth all through to two seasons in the National Super League (NSL) with Mara Sugar.##NAJAVA_MECA_8387073##He has featured in all four games for Mara Sugar this season and in an exclusive interview with Mozzart Sport, he opened up on the difference he has seen.“FKF Premier League is a little different, at least you get to play in better facilities and with security unlike in the NSL where some grounds are in a very poor condition and with no security.
