Denmak FC’s technical director, George Ojwaya, has boldly expressed the club’s determination to write history by eliminating yet another top-flight club from the Mozzart Bet Cup.The Division 2 club gained fame last year after eliminating Kenyan giants Gor Mahia from the tournament following a 5-4 post-match penalties win in a Round of 32 match played at Ukunda Showgrounds.On Saturday, the Kwale-based club will hope to replicate last year’s giant slaying heroics when they welcome the 2018 champions, Kariobangi Sharks, at Mbaraki Stadium.Follow our WhatsApp channel for more news##NAJAVA_MECA_8850178##The odds appear to be stacked heavily in favour of Sharks, but Ojwaya says the team is determined to prove doubters wrong and advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament.“We are determined to prove that what we did last year was not by fluke. There are no longer underdogs in the world of football, as each team has an equal chance. Last year, we had a solid strategy that worked, and we are ready to unleash a new one against Sharks. The pressure will be on them, but we will stick to our plan even as we aim to punch a ticket to the quarters,” said Ojwaya, who doubles up as a coach at the club.Asked about his knowledge of the opponent, the CAF B license holder admitted to being a fan of Sharks’ style of play and their affinity for young players.Latest construction update of brand new Talanta Sports City Stadium [VIDEO]Ojwaya revealed that he had done his homework well and drawn a strategy that will drown the visitors.“We have prepared the boys well, considering that we will be facing a team that has technically gifted players. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8841610##Their style of play is not different from ours. Additionally, the average age of their players is the same as that of our boys, and thus, we anticipate a tough yet entertaining game,” said the tactician.Meanwhile, Ojwaya rubbished a suggestion that appeared to suggest that the team has been deliberately deprived of fan support following the decision to stage the clash at Mbaraki.Denmak fans had hoped that the match would be played at Kwale Stadium, but the organisers moved the clash to Mbaraki, eliciting a strong reaction on social media.Former Sofapaka coach proposes FKF Premier League rule change that will improve Harambee StarsOjwaya says playing in away territory will not stop them from marching to the last eight of the tournament.“It will not affect us at all.

Our fans have always been supportive, and we expect them to make the short trip to Mbaraki,” added Ojwaya.Mozzart Bet Cup Round of 16 FixturesSaturdayDenmak vs Kariobangi Sharks-Mbaraki StadiumBandari vs Gor Mahia-Mbaraki StadiumNairobi United vs KCB-Dandora StadiumSundayKenya Police vs Kapenguria United- Kenyatta Stadium, MachakosBidco United vs Ulinzi Stars-Kenyatta Stadium,MachakosMurang’a Seal vs Kibera Soccer- St. Sebastian Park, Murang’aKakamega Homeboyz vs Shabana- Mamboleo, Kisumu
