The current FKF Premier league leader Kakamega Homeboyz are threatening to run away with the league as they lead the at the top with 31 points.

In the Kenyan premier league history no side has ever won the FKF PL title after 14 rounds of matches, but Homeboyz seem to be on course for that.

Homeboyz this season have showcased their quality of endurance and courage to keep going that makes them stand apart from the rest of the leading pile.

In football Champions have a way of winning even when they do not have a good game as it was showcased by current Last season Premier League champions Tusker.

This season Homeboyz are on a similar path as the champions having won most points from losing positions in the league.

However, they seem to suffer when they play against the sides found in the bottom half of the table. Those lowly placed teams have been their huddle this season.

Homeboyz’s only defeat in the league was handed to them by newly promoted side Talanta FC, which was unexpected of them to lose against a side playing in the topflight for their first year. 
 
Kakamega Homeboyz chairman Cleophas Shimanyula when the League resumed noted that his side would not rest until they lay their hands on the FKF Premier League title at the end of the current campaign.

“Most of my boys have never boarded a plane nor reached near a plane and they know if they win the league they stand a chance of boarding the plane for continental matches, so they know what is at stake.

“We have started the season well, and we could have been far by now had the league not been suspended after the move to dissolve the federation, but we don’t want to complain because the league is back and we are winning our matches.

“We know it is a marathon to win the league, we have 18 teams fighting for the same title and I know Gor Mahia and Tusker are some of the favourites but I want to tell them, Homeboyz are now title contenders, they should not write us off and if they do, then they will regret.

“We have already set our targets for the season and one of them is to make sure we are crowned champions, it looks a difficult task but again, we have already shown what we are capable of doing, six wins already this season and the only unbeaten side shows our clear intentions and seriousness,” Shimunyala stated earlier.
