The second leg is always a tough and determining phase, and every point counts. I am hopeful that if we avoid defeats and make good use of home advantage, we will realize our targets,” he offered.The hard-tackling center-back has welcomed new additions to the team, terming the club’s transfer business a success.Notably, the club has roped in Tanzanian forward and former Sony Sugar striker Atupele Green, Reagan Otieno from Kericho Rovers, and custodians Morgan Alube from table-toppers Naivas FC and Larry Okach, among others.The former Zoo Kericho talisman believes the new acquisitions will inject the power needed to sign off the season on a high. “The club hierarchy has completed a couple of signings, which are positive additions to the team. I feel they have covered largely areas that were of concern, and I am confident the new squad members will steer the team to safety when the season closes,” he further added.Muhoroni Youth will host Kariobangi Sharks on Sunday in Muhoroni.Owino urges KCB to rise above woeful run
