process moved their tally to 31.
Austine Odhiambo played a crucial role yet again to help

On top of the excellent teamwork at the camp, two of
Jonathan McKinstry’s charges have stepped up this season to help Gor Mahia
reach where they are now and their form would likely determine whether the club
retains the title or not.
Benson Omalla, who earned his maiden national cap earlier
this year has been one of the most important players for Gor Mahia so far.
Omalla has been clinical in front of goal and currently leads the top scorer’s race with nine goals, three more than his closest rivals Boniface Muchiri of Ulinzi Stars and Kakamega Homeboyz’ Moses Shumah. Nairobi City Stars’ Vincent Owino has also found the back of the net six times this season.

Uganda Cranes’ striker Derrick Nsibambi, who plays for the coastal-based side
Bandari FC - they all have five goals to their names.
K’Ogalo’s goalkeeper Kevin Omondi is also playing an
influential role in the competitive title race.
The youngster has kept nine clean sheets this season and is in control of the golden glove race.
