Fast-rising Gor Mahia goalkeeper Dolph Junior Owino has already fixed his goal on getting more regular game time under his belt come next season after tasting a full game for the record Kenyan champions for the very first time in his budding career.This past weekend, in the absence of first choice keeper Gad Mathew who was serving a red card suspension, Dolph was preferred between the sticks ahead of Caleb Omondi as he was named in the starting eleven that played to a 1-1 draw against Nzoia Sugar in the Sunday league match played at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.Bogey Nzoia Sugar officially dump Gor Mahia out of title race after stalemateThat occasion marked the player’s first full debut for K’Ogalo as he had replaced the red carded Gad on the 72nd minute in the previous match against Nairobi City Stars, the player thanking the coaches for handing him the opportunity to showcase his talent for the most decorated Kenyan football club.“I feel really good getting the opportunity to feature in the team because it is every player’s dream to play. I first thank God for the opportunity and the technical bench led by head coach Andreas Spier together with goalkeeper coach Bonface Oluoch for entrusting me with such a tough match. We were playing a side who were fighting relegation so they came all out and we always want to win our matches. So it was not easy,” the elated player told Mozzart Sport.🟢 | LINE-UP This is how we line-up against Nzoia Sugar FC today at Kasarani Stadium. #Sirkal | #Betsafe pic.twitter.com/01q25McW1O— GOR MAHIA FC (@OfficialGMFC) June 5, 2022 Unfazed by the spirited sugar millers who hit on the counter time and again, Dolph bailed Gor Mahia out of trouble a couple of times as he prevented the team from conceding but his dream start at the club would be ruined as Levis Okello struck in the first half to steal the clean sheet away from him, tainting what was otherwise a good show for the youngster.“I feel a little bit disappointed because I wanted a perfect start in my full debut game.
