Mashemeji Derby: AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia make good on threat to skip match

The Kenyan giants failed to show up at Thika Stadium for their second round fixture despite the FKF's warnings

The eagerly awaited FKF Premier League derby pitting AFC Leopards against rivals Gor Mahia will not take place as planned.

The second-round fixture pitting the oldest rivals in Kenyan history against each other was slated for Thika Stadium on Saturday, but the two clubs stuck to their earlier threats that they will not show up until they receive their Shield Cup money and grants from the Football Kenya Federation.

Interestingly, the two giants went ahead to organise a friendly which was played at Camp Toyoyo with Gor Mahia winning the game 1-0 courtesy of Samuel Onyango's goal.
