By Fredrick Nadulli,

Two of Kenya’s most famous and successful teams meet at the Nyayo national stadium on Sunday as the TPL draws to its halfway stage.The Leopards are struggling in the lower reaches as Gor dine with the big boys.

Since time immemorial,when these giants go head to head,the whole country switches to pause mode.It does not matter what position either team holds whenever they file out,defeat is unthinkable for any side.Bragging rights is the magical word.

While Gor approach this match under a dark cloud following crowd trouble in their last outing against Tusker,who eliminated them from the Top 8 tourney,AFC are high in confidence following their sterling run in the Nile Basin tournament,although they did falter at the last hurdle.

Both sides will no doubt parade their strongest possible sides,although recent reports of departures of key players from both sides will not make for interesting reading.
Coach Pieter de Jongh will have a first taste of premier league action,and how,coming against their traditional bitter rivals.

He has been chucked into the deep sea;he must swim with the sharks.
