Vihiga United on the other hand are position 5 with 51 points only 3 points below fourth placed Zoo Kericho.

Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has shown interest in promoting 4 teams to the prestigious SportPesa Premier league next year. If both teams qualify for the promotion, Western Kenya will see the birth of another fierce derby reminiscent of Mumias Sugar FC verses Nzoia Sugar FC which reigned supreme back in the 90s much to the delight of football fans.

Nzoia Sugar edged out a hard fighting KCB 1 nil in a midweek clash played at Camp Toyoyo Grounds while Vihiga United held Kariobangi Sharks 1-1 at Mumias Complex Stadium.
