Tusker started badly in the league but now find themselves in fifth place and nine points behind Gor Mahia.
Tusker goalkeeper Brian Bwire has explained why his teammates have started to gather winning momentum after a very tumultuous start to the season that had left the club lying perilously close to the drop zone.
The Ruaraka-based outfit have now won each of their last four games and gathered 12 points on the road, which has leapfrogged them from 12th place to fifth place and now just nine points behind league leaders Gor Mahia.
Speaking to Pulse Sports following their 5-0 demolition on KCB last Sunday, the former Kariobangi Sharks goalkeeper expressed pride at how the team had started picking wins, further explaining the slow start to the season.

FKFPL KCB head coach Mwalala motivates charges after Tusker whitewash
Mwalala oversaw what was arguably the worst defeat of his coaching career as his Bankers side were totally outclassed by Tusker 5-0 on Sunday.
“The team took a while to gel because some players were new and we were trying to understand each other,” Bwire said.
“People have now understood each other. Now it's about pushing from there.”
Last season, the team missed out on both the league title and the FKF Cup at the last hurdles and Bwire believes that the side is using those setbacks as fuel to become better this season, believing that the side has matured more.
