Gor Mahia face a tricky Thika United challenge on Sunday afternoon at their Tok Komwwnda (City Stadium) backyard aware that only victory should suffice against the John Kamau coached side if they are to habour any ambition of retaining the GO tv Domestic Cup.
As title holders, K’O galo are under pressure to win Sunday’s contest and inch their way to winning the trophy the third time in a row- after the 2011 and 2012 conquests.
Winning the second most important trophy is the only sure bet for the twelve time league champions to be guaranteed of continental football next year after seeing their initial eight point league lead come under severe threat , which has since been trimmed to a paltry three points, an equivalent of a one match loss.
The Green Army already lost out on the Top 8 trophy to Tusker who sent them packing out at the semifinals stage and their Scot head coach Bobby Williamson believes the Domestic Cup is as important at as the league Diadem.
“We will be treating it (Thika match) with the seriousness it deserves .It’s an important competition and we want to prevail” said the former Uganda tactician who is chasing a double.
Currently a top the log on 41 points , K’Ogalo will be hoping to make the most of the visitors to sail to the quarters .
The Kamau coached side have been a hard nut to crack for K’Ogalo after holding the latter to a barren draw in the first leg league match, but the Green Army will be hoping that on Sunday noon, the wind will blow in their favour .
