AFC Leopards to host first ever end of season awards gala
Ingwe fans are anticipating the first-ever awards gala to honor AFC Leopards top performers from the 2023/2024 season.
Miheso was one of the bright spots for Ingwe last season as he was their main creative force, chipping in with a number of assists, besides his two league goals after returning to the club following a stint at Kenya Police.
Odhiambo and Mahiga also played a part in making Leopards one of the hardest teams to break. While they did not score many goals, Ingwe had the second best defence in the league after conceding 23 goals, just three more than champions Gor Mahia.
Meanwhile, Omune appears favourite to bag the award as he was the top scorer at Ingwe with eight goals in all competitions.

EXPLAINED: Understanding the Gor Mahia players’ standoff over prize money: contracts, rights, and responsibilities
This is why players are not necessarily entitled to price money from competitions after Gor Mahia players were involved in a stand off with the club management citing the fact that they deserved bonus shares for the price money they received from FKF.
In what as a difficult season that saw the club struggle to score, Omune came to Ingwe’s rescue with key goals that eventually enabled them to turn around their season to finish fifth.
There will also be nominees for other categories such as midfielder, defender and forward of the season with winners of the various categories selected by a panel after reviewing last season's statistics.
