They did it to no ones expectations in the just concluded Cecafa Kagame cup in Tanzania’s commercial city of Dar es Salaam.They finished as runners up with a stylish display beating Tanzanian heavy weights Yanga and Sudanese giants al Khartoum in style.Gor Mahia is truly invincible.
As they returned to the Kenyan capital Nairobi where their base is,the club embarked on stretching their lead at the top of the prestigious KPL,who already have a sponsor in Spoertpesa.
East Africa’s most successful club Gor Mahia with a CAF Confederations cup title in place came back a rejuvenated club and their next destination was an away trip to on form Kenya commercial Bank at the Nyayo Stadium.With the tiredom,the merciless kogallo confronted a well oiled bankers who had just beaten Thika United 3-2 in their last fixture.
Their destination was the Nyayo stadium where a hapless KCB soaked in 6 goals and only replying once with former Gor Mahia man Mungai Kiongera providing the consolation.
In the lake side city of Kisumu where Gor Mahia derives a mass support it was song and dance at the famous Stanbradox city club,the passionate Gor Mahia supporters were in all jovial mood singing the Gor mahia anthem with the DJ kobole summing it with the Kogallo tunes and Songs after every quarter of an hour.
Well known Kogallo fans at the club who apparently are Health professionals,Owili Collins,Ochoggia Ken,Anyona Wilson and Kisero Collins were the star attractions as they enviously celebrated the goals which came in successions.
The close to 700 fans following the Arsenal vs West Ham match stopped watching the London derby and instead concentrated in the four clinicans as they mercilessly supported their only club GOR KOGALLO.
Soka25east writer Austin Oduor,the author of the story had to join the team as he was overwhelmed.
At the end of the match it was Olunga,Kagere with a brace,Mark with an own goal, Aucho and Agwanda with the 6 -1 route.
Gor Mahia face Ushuru in the midweek before hosting Nairobi City stars on the weekend.
They sit pretty 8 points clear of Soldiers Ulinzi who were held to a 1-1 draw in Awendo and 9 pointa ahead of Tusker who had a similar scoreline against Western Stima.
