We had hoped for revenge following last year’s final loss, but that’s behind us now, and our attention shifts to the league.

Odhiambo, who was facing his former side for the first time in the season following his switch, says it was a match filled with mixed emotions considering he won the cup with Homeboyz in the previous season.”It was a match where I had mixed feelings considering it was my first match after switching sides, and having won the Cup with Homeboyz last year complicated the whole affair. Saturday wasn’t our day, and I want to wish them well ahead,” Odhiambo added. The left-footed defender admits it won’t be an easy task to win the league, but he remains adamant that they stand a chance to win the prestigious award at the end of the campaign.”Gor has a substantial lead ahead of us, and we have to really up our game. It won’t be an easy walk in the park, but I believe we stand a chance of winning the title by simply being clinical in our remaining matches. I’m confident we can get the job done however tight it looks on paper,” he concluded.
