FKFPL Why Gor Mahia is nicknamed 'Sirkal'
Gor Mahia are set to face Kenya Police in a clash dubbed the 'Sirkal Derby' this weekend, but this is an account on how the 1987 CAF Cup Winners' Cup champions earned that nickname.
The match got off to a slow start, with neither side coming out of the blocks with any pace or real intensity. Through the first half hour, Posta enjoyed more possession, and midfielder Jackson Macharia was an influential figure.
However, Nzoia had their promising moments, especially when Joseph Wafula and David Simiyu combined down the left flank, though the visitors' goalkeeper John Njau was left relatively untested.
With the lack of creativity and penetration, it was no surprise to see the half end 0-0.

FKFPL Police arrest Gor Mahia's 19-game unbeaten run courtesy of old boys Muguna, Tito
Kenya Police took full advantage of Gor Mahia fans' expected absence from Police Sacco Stadium to beat the league leaders 2-1 on Saturday.
The match marked by Tusker's missed opportunities, especially in the second half saw Douglas Mokaya's first-half strike seal a historic win for Bidco United - their first victory over Tusker.
Mokaya's goal came from a cross-turned-shot from the right sneaking into the bottom right corner amidst confusion in the Tusker defense.
The miscommunication between the backline and goalkeeper Brian Bwire proved costly for the Brewers. Despite several chances to equalize in the latter half, Tusker could not capitalize, ultimately paying the price for their inefficiency in front of the goal.

The result leaves Tusker FC with a daunting task to catch up in the title race as they are now trailing by 12 points behind Gor Mahia.
