Saruni, who was speaking to Futaa.com said that he has set a target of at least 15 clean sheets to break the record set by last season's winner Patrick Matasi, who managed to play 15 matches without conceding. 

''If you look at last year’s winner Patrick Matasi, he had 15 clean sheets, so that’s my target not a minimum of 15 clean sheets,'' said the shot stopper. 

The team, which is in the North African nation for the CAF Confederations cup started on the wrong foot after loosing 1-0 to Al-Hillal Bangezi from Libya in the first leg preliminary round.

The fan-less match was played at the Cairo Millitary Academy Stadium with the military team saying they lost because of poor officiating, claiming Ahmed Abar's 47th minute winner was offside. 

The second leg will be played on Saturday, February 18 in Nairobi's Moi Stadium, where the home team must win by a margin of 2 goals to proceed to the first round.
