The upcoming Mashemeji derby, the second leg of the 23/24 fixture between Gor Mahia and AFC Leopard, is set to take place on Sunday, April 21. This highly anticipated clash is occurring with Gor Mahia currently leading the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) standings with 54 points, while AFC Leopards trail behind with 35 points and a game in hand.

As is customary with this rivalry, an intense and thrilling match is expected. One notable figure in the history of the Mashemeji derby is Danny Sserenkuma, who achieved significant success during his time with Gor Mahia.

Sserenkuma’s contributions to the club included securing several titles and establishing himself as one of the most clinical forwards in the team’s history. Notably, he holds the record for the most goals scored in the Mashemeji derby, tallying six goals during his time with Gor Mahia – a feat he shares with the legendary Sammy ‘Jogoo’ Onyango.

Additionally, he is the only player to have scored a brace in the fixture on two occasions, a testament to his exceptional skill and impact on the derby. Sserenkuma’s prowess is further highlighted by the fact that he is one of the few players to have scored in three consecutive Mashemeji derbies, placing him in the ranks of accomplished players like Abdul Baraza and Meddie Kagere.

His legacy in the fixture solidifies his status as a key figure in the history of the Mashemeji derby.
