Ingwe and K'Ogalo were consequently fined for not honouring their league fixture at Thika Stadium
Chairman Ambrose Rachier has revealed it is the pressure from the players that led Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards to skip the Premier League Mashemeji Derby in July.
The fixture was not played when the clubs protested the delay in disbursement of their Shield Cup prize money and Rachier has now said they were influenced to take the decision after receiving immense pressure from the players.

"Our fans need to understand the genesis of this rare occurrence," Rachier told Goal.
