On October 31, 2019, Sikh Union's hopes of avoiding relegation from the Kenya Hockey Union men's Premier League took a hit after they threw away a two-goal lead to draw 3-3 with Kenya Police at the City Park Stadium.
The match saw Sikh Union lead 1-0, 2-1, and 3-1 before a late surge from Kenya Police left them pegged second from bottom with nine points from 14 matches.
Kenya Police's Moses Cheplaiti and Samson Kibirir scored a brace in the 53rd and 54th minutes, while Peter Njoroge, Francis Esikuru, and Shabaz Ali scored for Sikh Union.
The draw has left Parklands and Strathmore University, who are placed bottom and third from bottom respectively, in a precarious position.
Sikh Union captain Haggai Sikhila acknowledged the pressure to remain in the top tier, stating, "We are doing everything possible to evade the cut when the season comes to an end. Going forward, with four matches to play we need to be clinical in front of goal."
He added, "In the match against Police, we had many chances but we never punished them and that's something that we need to work on knowing very well the situation we are in currently."
Sikh Union will face Sailors, Strathmore, Western Jaguars, and Greensharks in their last four matches.
