The Policemen are, however, still at the top of the table standing with 42 points ahead of KDF 21 who tie with Nairobi County.

"This was a recommendable performance after we missed the first leg in Busia. We hope even to improve on this next time," Kenya Prisons Secretary General Edward Mwaura told Standard Sports.

Kenya Prisons head coach Ibrahim Nassur has promised to restore lost glory to his team and ensure they beat league champions KDF and former champions Kenya Police.

"With all fairness, we can even beat the two teams," he said.
