Their recent triumph was a narrow 1-0 win against Posta Rangers at the Ruaraka Grounds.

Despite their impressive form, Coach Muyoti keeps focusing on the immediate future.

"I am not thinking about Gor Mahia; I am just thinking about our next match. We have a job to do, and we are concentrating on our upcoming opponent. When we face Gor Mahia, we will think about them, but for now, our thoughts and plans are centred around AFC Leopards," Citizen Digital quotes Muyoti.
