A goal in each half earned Daystar falcons a coveted win against arch rivals Daystar City in a friendly derby played yesterday at the Bethel grounds in Athi River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rejuvenated falcons\u2019 side recorded back to back wins for the first time since the start of the new season, following their FKF triumph over UNOA Sports on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The game that ended 2-1 saw captain Barrack Khaseke continue with his excellent form, netting a second half goal after coming in as a substitute in the first half. The goal is his third in a span of 5 days, having netted a brace during the win against UNOA sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Team manager Walter Nalwa has assured Falcon\u2019s fans of a win come Saturday, when the team plays its second FKF match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Athi River team has numbers, and the players have the necessary skills. If we could have more playing time, we\u2019d have scored more goals but we won, and are expecting to win a league match tomorrow,\u201d stated Walter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He further urged fans to show up in large numbers for the FKF match to be played at 3pm at the Bethel grounds on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026everyone who is on campus kindly avail yourselves and cheer your team. We win, Daystar wins,\u201d continued the manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The team will be hoping for the return of forward Gian Gaile, who was sidelined with a groin injury picked up in Sunday\u2019s league game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daystar City\u2019s consolation goal was scored in the second half by former Falcon\u2019s full-back Phegan Indeche, netting a superb goal following a defensive error. Sitting bottom of the KUSA rankings, the team\u2019s poor run of form progresses, as they continue the search for their first victory of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
