FOOTBALL: ‘AFC Leopards would have been relegated if not us,’ says Shikanda as he backs Tom Juma to succeed at Ingwe
The AFC Leopards chairman feels the club is in a better position due to his management and it will not be long before the Tom Juma-led team starts posting positive results
The two teams still stand a slim chance of winning the league title should Ruaraka stumble in their remaining two fixtures.
Kanbis are yet to lose at home and it will be interesting to see what happens to Ruaraka this weekend.
