Bandari FC head coach Anthony Kimani says the competition currently being witnessed in the FKF Premier League is good for football with underdogs emerging as serious title contenders.Kakamega Homeboyz, who have never won the FKF Premier League currently sit at the top of the log with a 10-point buffer and are likely to clinch the title unless something extraordinary happens in the remaining ten matches of the season.Sides like Posta Rangers, KCB, Nairobi City Stars and Kariobangi Sharks are also among the top sides in the table. This Kimani, whose side is eight in the log says is good for the league that has for the last decade been won by either Gor Mahia (7) or Tusker (3).John Makwatta with FKF PL’s goal of the season. You can’t deny him, glory to AFC Leopards. @PatrickAussems @Officialfkfpl @FKFcaretaker @KenyaPremierLg @kenyapolicefc @AFCLeopards @IngweFans @premierleague pic.twitter.com/9fz7fJKENl— Son of Emulama (@EShilenje) April 4, 2022 “The league is good, it is very competitive, and there are emerging sides that are now competing for the title. In the past it has been a Gor Mahia and Tusker affair , the two teams have dominated the league for years. Right now we are seeing teams like Kakamega Homeboyz competing very well, they are top in the league, there is City Stars who are also rising , there is also Kariobangi Sharks who are showing good resilience and competitiveness,” he told Bonga Boli.The former Kenyan international who turned out for Mathare United and AFC Leopards during his playing days believes that the stiff competition in the local scene will prepare Kenyan teams better for CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup assignments.“When all teams improve and show that competitiveness, then I believe that the team that wins the league and gets the chance to represent the country at continental level will be competitive because they will be well-prepared having battled hard to clinch the title,” he added.
