Tusker FC captain Charles Momanyi has opened up on how they plan to claim their 13th league title following a three-season dry spell.The Brewers last won the league in the 2020–21 season, defeating close rivals KCB FC by a paltry three-point margin.Tusker, however, failed to replicate their 2020–21 success but clinched the title a season later only for the season to be annulled.##NAJAVA_MECA_8305144##In the 2022–23 season, they finished second to Gor Mahia, missing the league title by a single point, as K’Ogalo won with 70 points.That season, they were also beaten by Kakamega Homeboyz in the Mozzart Bet Cup finals to lose to titles within three weeks.Subsequently, the Brewers faced another season of heartache, finishing second to record league champions Gor Mahia, this time by eight points.Engin Firat explains Daniel Anyembe’s exclusion from Harambee Stars squadDespite falling short in the past three campaigns, Momanyi revealed that they intend to dethrone defending champions Gor Mahia this season.The towering defender, however, points out that in order to successfully recapture the league from Leonardo Neiva’s charges, they will need to get off to a strong start, which Momanyi believes has been their greatest undoing in the last three seasons.”The last two seasons, we had a false start to the league, causing us to struggle to catch up and ultimately miss out on the league title in the final days of the season.##NAJAVA_MECA_8305166##The goal for the new season is to get off to a good start so that we can recapture the league title from Gor Mahia,” he told the club’s media.True to his words, Tusker, under interim coach Charles Okere, kicked off the 2024–25 season on the perfect footing following their 1-0 win over 2009 champions Sofapaka FC.Chris Erambo’s second-half strike was all that the Ruaraka-based club needed to make their intentions known.Ernest Wendo on why he missed Gor Mahia’s recent CAF Champions League tiesThe former Gor Mahia defender further emphasized that the club will aim to wrestle the title from Gor Mahia.”Our focus from the previous seasons has not changed. Despite the last two seasons of heartbreak, we are determined to be champions at the end of the season. I believe we have the potential to challenge Gor Mahia for the league title,” he added.Momanyi further stressed that they will not underestimate their opponents, despite being favourites in most of the matches they head into.##NAJAVA_MECA_8305174##”At Tusker, we appreciate every opponent. We view every team as a challenge, and we treat each game with the seriousness it deserves. We’ve prepared thoroughly, and we are focused on winning each match that comes our way,” concluded the former Kakamega Homeboyz defender.
