Gor Mahia goalkeeper Kevin Omondi has displayed an outstanding performance in the first half of the FKF Premier League campaign, positioning himself as a leading contender for the Golden Glove award.

Omondi has managed to secure an impressive 10 clean sheets in the initial 16 matches of the season, asserting his dominance as the primary choice goalkeeper for coach Johnathan Mckinstry, who has consistently favored him over the 2022/23 Golden Glove winner, Gad Mathews.

Gor Mahia keeper’s run

A notable highlight in Omondi’s performance was his remarkable seven consecutive clean sheets between October 7 and November 26.

During this period, he thwarted opposing teams such as AFC Leopards, Tusker, Bidco United, Shabana, Kenya Police, Murang’a Seal, and Muhoroni Youth.

In the final two matches before the break, Omondi added two more clean sheets to his tally as Gor Mahia emerged victorious against FC Talanta and Bandari.

Omondi’s defensive prowess is evident in the limited number of goals conceded, with only six teams managing to breach his defences.

Nzoia Sugar is the only side to score more than one goal against Omondi this season. He has conceded just seven goals in the 16 matches played.

Chasing closely behind Omondi is Brian Bwire of Tusker FC, who is closing in with eight clean sheets after 16 matches.

Bwire is currently two clean sheets behind Omondi, making the race for the Golden Glove highly competitive.

Gor Mahia keeper competitors

Among the goalkeepers tied with seven clean sheets are John Njau of Posta Rangers, John Ochuka of Bandari, and John Otieno of Bidco United. Meanwhile, Boniphas Munyasa of Murang’a Seal and Patrick Matasi of Kenya Police have achieved six clean sheets each in 16 matches.

As the FKF Premier League gears up for its resumption in January 2024, the competition for the Golden Glove will intensifies, promising an exciting battle among the top goalkeepers in the league.
