The Kenya police opened a 13 point lead on top of the Kenya Hockey Unions men premier league after another impressive performance in the weekend.
The law enforcers crushed champions Strathmore University Gladiators 6-1 at City Park Stadium. Two matches into the second leg, the 2013 champions have clearly replicated their first leg form and have certainly shown that they mean business as they bid to reclaim the title.
And this midweek fixture against struggling chase sailors on Wednesday, Police coach Kenneth Kaunda has called for consistency and urged against any form of complacency.
“We are in good form at the moment and that is down to team work and everyone enjoying their match. Yes we are taking a game at a time and see how it plays out in the end,” Kaunda said on Monday.
The former Barkibir, S periphery figure in past seasons, is clearly enjoying his hockey this season. Three goals in his last two matches have seen him take his tally of matches to 14 goals this season. He hit a brace against gladiators, showing why Kaunda has started with him ahead of talismanic striker Moses Chepaliti in the last two matches. Kaunda lavished praises of the young forward.
