Shimanyula: Gor Mahia players want to win KPL title on field of play

Kakamega Homeboyz chairman Cleophas Shimanyula has claimed Gor Mahia players have reached out to him asking to have the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) season played to the end.

The Kenyan top-flight, which was suspended in March owing to the coronavirus pandemic, was ended by the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) who went ahead to declare Gor Mahia champions as they were leading the 17-team table with 54 points.

Homeboyz, who were second, seven points behind and with a game in hand, protested bitterly on the decision to award K'Ogalo the title, with the KPL also saying the move was not final and that the fate of the league will be decided on May 18 when the curfew imposed by the Kenyan government elapses.
