Odera: Why Chemelil Sugar changed the venue for Gor Mahia match

Chemelil Sugar assistant coach Charles Odera has explained why they have moved their match against Gor Mahia to Kericho on Thursday.

The club has preferred to host the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) defending champions at Kericho Green Stadium as opposed to an earlier arrangement where they were to play at Moi Stadium in Kisumu.

“We have a very young squad which we think are not ready to play on an artificial turf for now,” Odera told Goal.
