FKFPL Godfrey Oduor insists KCB are still in FKFPL title race

The Bankers are seven points behind league leaders Gor Mahia.

KCB FC assistant coach Godfrey 'Solo' Oduor insists that they are still in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) title race despite being seven points adrift. 

The Bankers are yet to claim a Premier League title but came close in 2021 when they lost the league to Tusker by just three points.

Oduor who doubles up as the Harambee Starlets head coach, however, insists that they are still very much in the title race.

“We still have seven matches to play for. Those are 21 points to play for. Those are a lot of points. Anything can happen.”

Speaking after their loss to Tusker at the Ruaraka Grounds courtesy of a potential goal-of-the-season contender by former player Michael Oduor, the coach insisted that what was done was done and the side should focus on the weekend encounter.

“A loss is a loss. Tusker have won 1-0,” he said. "That is the scoreline. We focus on the Mozzart Cup now against them on Saturday,” he added.

The assistant gaffer also insisted that the side needs to stop being profligate if they are to stand a chance of having the last laugh on Saturday.

“We need to focus on finishing. This is the one area that we really need to keep on urging our players ahead of the match again on Saturday.”

KCB are fourth on 49 points, winning 14, drawing 7 and losing 6 games.
