Sportpesa Shield: Gor Mahia thrash Kenpoly 5-nil, Ulinzi get walkover

Kenya Premier League leaders Gor Mahia impressive run of form continued in Kenya's domestic club competition as they cruised to the round of 16 of the Sportpesa Shield with a 5-nil thrashing of Kenpoly at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos. Ivorian import Ephrem Guikan scored a hatrick with Lawrence Juma scoring once before a Kenploy own goal completed a comfortable win for K'ogalo. Meanwhile the game between Ulinzi Stars and Kakamega Homeboyz scheduled to be played at the Afraha Stadium in Nakuru failed to take place after Homeboyz failed to turn up citing poor communication from the federation. If Ulinzi are awarded the walkover they will face the winner between Western Stima and Bidco United in the round of 16. The winner of the Shield will fly Kenya's flag in the CAF Confederation cup next season.
