Gor Mahia’s Omala more hungry about wins than goals in quest for back-to-back league titles
Omala currently leads the goalscoring charts but insists the team winning matches is more important than individual accolades.
However, McKinstry, an advocate for staying rooted in the present, warned his team about getting ahead of themselves.
"It is a bit like when you are driving the car and you are paying attention to stuff going on at a distance; you sometimes miss a pothole in front of you," he analogized.
Bidco United, though positioned sixth on the table with 10 points, should not be underestimated.
The Thika-based side's recent goalless draw against Murang’a Seal is a testament to their defensive capabilities, and their overall performance this season includes two wins and four draws.
“We know Bidco have had a good start to the season. They've only faced one defeat in their seven matches, so we're gearing up for a formidable opponent,” McKinstry acknowledged.

“We are coming into an interesting week, three games in the course of eight days, Bidco, Shabana, and Police,” McKinstry highlighted. “However, our eyes are firmly on Bidco for now. We'll strategize for the other games once we're past this one,” he concluded.
