On Anguyo and the Licking of Sony Sugar

Before last Sunday's game, Sony Sugar FC had been one of the teams that had a better record head to head on us in the last 5 seasons. Ivan Anguyo however corrected that by ensuring we draw level with them in terms of wins. Our record versus Sony now reads played 10, won 4, lost 4 and drew 2 with an average of 1.4 points per game over them. The following is our record with Sony over the past 5 seasons.

Anguyo Scores

Sserunkuma and Lavatsa join Anguyo in celebrating his goal against Sony

Anguyo's goal was his 4th for the club in the league, 2 this season, and 1 each in the last 2 season. This was also his 4th goal in all competitions for Gor this year, making him the 3rd highest scorer for K'ogalo behind Rama and Sserunkuma. He joines Baldin Ngwa as the K'ogalo who has scored twice against Sony during this period. Also Sony is one of the few clubs that have done a double over K'ogalo over the past 5 seasons. No club has done a double over K'ogalo this season - with only Muhoroni Youth, Tusker and Karuturi the only 3 teams remaining with that opportunity.

Two points behind Leopards, with six games to go and the derby coming up, these are indeed exciting times!

Rama's Golden Boots and Other Ulinzi Stats

Gor Mahia became the second club to lift the Top 8 cup after dethroning the defending champions, Ulinzi Stars with a 2-0 win. The following are some of the statistical milestones from the Sunday game.

Rama Salim scored his 12^th goal of the season in all competitions, making him only 5 goals shy of George Odhiambo Blackberry’s 17 goals as K’ogalo’s top scorer over the past 5 seasons. 9 of these goals have come in the league where he is currently equal with Blackberry’s haul of 9 in a season, achieved during the 2009 season. Dr. Rama has scored 3 goals in cup competitions this season, the highest by a K’ogalo. Other K’ogalo who has scored more than one in the cups this season are Edwin Lavatsa (2), Ivan Anguyo (2) and Itubu Imbem (2). The leading K’ogalo in the cups over the last five seasons is Edwin Lavatsa who has scored an incredible 6 goals in just two seasons, including 4 in last years' FKF Cup.

The game against Ulinzi Stars was K’ogalo’s 12^th game against these opponents in the last 5 seasons, with the results being pretty even. Gor has now won 4 games, lost 4 and drawn 4 against the soldiers in this period, scoring  9 goals and conceding 6 goals in the process. Gor has also recorded the better results in terms of scores during this period, winning 4-2 in 2009, 2-0 last Sunday and 2-0 in 2010 (when Blackberry scored what to me was the goal of the season). Ulinzi has not beaten Gor by more than 1 goal since September 2007 when they won 2-0 in a league encounter.

I am attempting to put together a list of K’ogalo scorers against Ulinzi but missing out on the K’ogalo scorers against Ulinzi on 23 August 2009 when Gor won 4-2. I know Blackberry scored one of the goals but who scored the other 3? Otherwise the last 5 years results against Ulinzi are as follows.

2012

19 August Ulinzi 0  Gor 2 [Rama Salim, Itubu Imbem] - Top 8 Final

21 April  Ulinzi 1    Gor 0 - League
