The new acquisition from Emuhaya FC scored the solo league goal against Naivas FC a fortnight ago and got the opener against Heroes. A second bookable offense however resulted in him seeing red in the later stages of the game and Xavier believes that they have some good talent at their disposal.“We got him from the lower league and he has scored in the two games that he has played although he was unfortunate to see red in the closing stages of the game against Heroes. His biggest strength is confidence, he is one very confident player and it makes every other thing fall into place for him. He has the potential to be a super striker if he keeps working hard and remains disciplined,” he added.According to NSL’s fixtures, Mara are supposed to play APS Bomet but the much may not take place as Bomet are protesting a return to the second tier.Senaji’s first half strike earns Tusker three vital points at Bidco United’s loss
