Simba SC goalkeeper Aishi Manula believes Gor Mahia's recent dominance in Kenya played a part in reducing the popularity of the Mashemeji Derby.
K'Ogalo have been the better side against perennial rivals AFC Leopards in recent times - prior to the 0-0 draw this season, the reigning Football Kenya Federation Premier League champions had won six straight league games against Ingwe.
The Tanzania international believes it is the main difference between the Mashemeji Derby and the Kariakoo Derby, that brings together Simba SC and Yanga SC.
