FOOTBALL Tusker midfielder feels the brewers have turned a new page after thrashing Nairobi City Stars
Tusker FC midfielder Mike Oduor believes their 3-1 victory over Nairobi City Stars is the turning point in their season after spate of poor results since the campaign started
The attacking midfielder headed home Oduor’s left-footed free-kick as Tusker eased some pressure after back-to-back defeats and Mwangi feels victory will silence some of his critics somewhat.
“I feel great because it is something I have been fighting for in the last 10 games. It has been haunting me a lot, if you look at the form I have been in, and people were still asking what is going on,” said Mwangi.

FKFPL Zdravko Logarusic believes Kenya is ‘a sleeping giant’ in football that needs ‘waking up’
Logarusic believes that Kenyan football can fulfill its untapped potential which has yet to be exploited after his Kenya Police side beat Ulinzi Stars in front of a sizable crowd.
“However, I was giving myself hope because I know it is football and I must search for goals. We had lost two straight games but now we are winning which is a morale booster and something we must maintain.”
Mwangi joined Tusker in the off-season from Nzoia Sugar where he scored 14 goals and provided seven assists and there were hopes that he would hit the ground running for the Ruaraka-based side but he has taken time to adapt.

FOOTBALL Trucha identifies AFC Leopards' problematic position, urges club to prioritise signing in January
AFC Leopards coach Tomas Trucha has called on the club management to quickly find a clinical striker in the mid-season transfer window to help solve their scoring woes.
Victory left Tusker in 10th position on 14 points, eight behind leaders Posta Rangers, but it is not where last season’s runners-up want to be.
Robert Matano’s charges have had a poor start to the season, suffering five defeats in 11 games, while they have won four and drawn two, adding pressure on the tactician.

FKFPL Stricter rules need to be implemented to curb hooliganism in Kenyan football
Addressing football hooliganism in FKF Premier League and emphasizing the need for balanced measures beyond point deductions to deter fan misbehavior.
That has pegged them back and even with leaders Posta Rangers and second-placed Gor Mahia drawing three of their last five games, the Brewers have failed to capitalise.
Tusker will hope to pick up some momentum after the two-week international break when they visit Bidco United on November 25.
