Butali Warriors continued their dominance in the Kenya Hockey Union men's Premier League, extending their unbeaten run with a 5-0 thrashing of Strathmore University Gladiators at City Park on September 21, 2019.
Former Strathmore captain Francis Kariuki, who led the students to the 2016 league title, netted twice to condemn his former club to their eighth loss of the season.
George Mutira, Calvins Omondi, and Nixon Amadi were also on target as Butali completed a double against Strathmore, who they had whipped 7-0 in the first leg.
Warriors captain Kenneth Nyongesa praised his team's performance, saying it was not an easy game despite the scoreline.
"It was a good game and Strathmore played very well especially in the first half and it is notable that they have improved," Nyongesa said.
Butali made their intentions known from the whistle, surging into the Gladiators' territory from the onset. Their efforts paid off three minutes into play as Kariuki converted a penalty corner to give his side a 1-0 lead.
