Murang’a Seal are currently taking on the FKF league by storm after securing their second straight win last Saturday against Kakamega Homeboyz with a 1-0 win at St. Sebastian Park.
The gaffer, Vincent Nyaberi, had previously warned other Premier League teams after Seals were promoted into topflight football, saying his squad was not in the league to donate points.
“Nobody should expect us to be pushovers. We are not coming to donate points to other teams in the league. We are ready to make ourselves count,” he said.
The coach, who is also a former Thika United player, also made some changes to his squad in a bid to strengthen the squad for the much more competitive league.
He further added that they will maintain high levels of performance so as to attract more fans and change the footballing narrative in Central Kenya.
"We have no choice but to perform. Good results will attract a good fan base. Our team's jersey will also be available to our supporters at affordable prices," the tactician said.
Since joining the club in January 2021, Nyaberi has seen the upward trajectory of his squad from battling relegation in the 2021 National Super League (NSL to promotion into topflight football within two years.
Seals gained promotion to the FKF league after amassing 69 points—just four points behind National Super League leaders Shabana FC.
The club, which started as a sports mentorship program for non-privileged footballers at the grassroots level, is based in Kiharu Constituency and was founded in 2016 by Robert Macharia.
The club president saw that talented youth in the county were struggling due to a lack of training grounds hence the conviction to start the club.
Titus Kapchanga secured the number one spot for the team heading into the international break after his goal in the 85th minute.
They fought for the much-deserved win and are currently leading the 18-team league, leaving the all-time FKF winners Gor Mahia in their wake.
They kicked off their 2023/24 campaign against fellow newcomers Shabana FC at the Raila Odinga Homa Bay Stadium with a 1-0 win in an intense match.
Batts Awita's goal propelled Seal to victory and earned him the FKF Premier League Player of the Week.
The KPL newbies, under Coach Nyaberi, are looking more confident with each passing game —putting to the sword every opponent they face.
Seals take on Talanta FC on September 17 at the Ruaraka Stadium. The last time the two met was on July 21 when Talanta beat Seals 2-0.
Talanta currently have two points and will be looking to slay the Seals and halt their rampage in the league.
On the other hand, Seals will be looking to continue their magnificent form to catapult them to a maiden FKF League trophy.
The club is no doubt lighting up the FKF League with their eyes firmly fixed on clinching the title in a bid to add to what has been an incredible journey for the club.
