Lwasa eyes brace as Gor renews rivalry with Tusker

After missing the last two league matches, Gor Mahia forward Peter Lwasa says he intends to announce his return with a brace when the record champions take on holders Tusker on Saturday at Thika Stadium.

Lwasa missed the club's double over the struggling Wazito courtesy of a knock picked in training a couple of weeks ago but he has since resumed training and is breathing fire ahead of the clash.

Having lost twice to Tusker last season, Gor who also bowed to the beer makers in the Super Cup will be looking to serve them revenge and move to the second spot on the log.

Lwasa said netting at least a brace will contribute to the brewers fall as well as help the club maintain the rhythm gained from humbling Wazito twice.

"I hurt my shin bone last month and consequently, I missed the Wazito matches. I am back on my feet and I am looking forward to scoring at least a brace when we face Tusker on Saturday. I have trained well and I am in the right frame of mind and sharpness required ahead of a big game, " said the former Sofapaka man.

Lwasa who joined Gor last year from Kariobangi Sharks has in the meantime reiterated his hunger for the top scorer's award at the end of the season.

The Ugandan who has seven goals against his name reckons that the leading scorer is within some touching distance and consistency in front of the goal will see him catch up.

"The gap between my tally and that of the leading scorer is not that huge. I am sure I will catch up with him before the season ends. The goal has and still remains laying hands on the boot and if possible, winning the league," he said.
