“We are greedy here”: Gor Mahia’s season not done yet despite wrapping up title

Having already wrapped up this season’s FKF Premier League title, it might have been expected that Gor Mahia’s performance would decline in the remaining weeks until they were awarded a record-extending 21st league crown.However, that has not been the case. K’Ogalo, under the leadership of head coach Johnathan McKinstry, have continued their impressive run of form, seizing every opportunity to break records.On Sunday afternoon, Gor Mahia reached the 70-point mark for the fifth time in the 18-team league, making them the only KPL team to achieve this feat.Sofapaka’s survival hopes dashed by Gor Mahia defeatThis milestone was achieved in a fixture against a desperate Sofapaka team seeking to avoid relegation, with the added challenge of Gor Mahia coming back from a two-week break that had the potential to disrupt their rhythm.“I thought we controlled the game well,” McKinstry said post-game, seemingly impressed that his side, though showing signs of rust, had come away with a win. “It wasn’t a game of many chances. Sofapaka were so cautious and didn’t want to leave much space behind.”At the end of it all, Sylvester Owino’s long-range strike four minutes after the break was enough to seal the win.Owino terms current season most successful since arriving in FKFPL“Another win, another clean sheet,” McKinstry said.But that’s not the end of it.”Yes, we’ve won the league, but there are a number of records we want to set,” the Irishman said. “Today was our 22nd clean-sheet of the season out of 32 games, which is remarkable.“We’ve got a couple of guys there fighting to get the MVP award and Benson Omalla chasing the golden boot. So we are greedy here at K’Ogalo, we don’t just want the league title; we’re also going for those personal records.”##NAJAVA_MECA_8161518##Whilst Omondi has already scooped the golden glove, Omala is locked in yet another intense race for the golden boot, where he is tied with Kenya Police’s Tito Okello on 16 goals.Two games remain, against Talanta on Wednesday, before wrapping up the season against Bidco United.To the fans, McKinstry said: “Come out and cheer the guys on. Talanta is our final home game of the season before we play Bidco on Sunday.”
