Avire who has scored five goals this season is looking forward for another four-star performance when the team plays against Mathare United as well as breaking his own goal drought that stretches back to march 13 when he netted the only goal in a 1-0 win against AFC Leopards in Kakamega.

“Well it has been a long time and I would wish to get back into scoring form. But the most important thing for me is the team performance. It will be tough against Mathare but as a team we are prepared to win,”
