Struggling Nakuru Top Fry coach Peter Okidi has vowed to keep the team in top flight next season but it could all end on Sunday when his side hosts AFC Leopards’.

With five matches to go, the new comers have picked the least number of points currently standing at 16 and are rightly placed at the bottom of the log.

Sunday provides Okidi the last chance to keep his side in top flight and he has vowed to fight and make good use of it.

"We may be at the bottom of the log but it does not mean we have given up. We are determined to take our chances against AFC Leopards and retain all three points at home," he said in a pre-game press conference.

Okidi will have to find a way to motivate his boys who have spent more time at the bottom of the table. He has experienced players like Sebastian Muchera, who can rise up on such occasion. Youngster Teddy Siwa is also capable of a surprise performance.

Leopards go into this match inspired by a two goal come-back which helped them edge out Tusker 3-2 from GOtv Shield. Ingwe desperately need to win this one in a bid to keep away from relegation zone.
