Thika United has finally broken a six-year winless jinx against rivals Western Stima in the KPL courtesy of Michael Olunga’s classic tap in the 70th minute at Ruaraka grounds yesterday.

Towering Olunga converted Moses Odhiambo’s sleazy left pass to make the score 1-0 for Thika who had earlier played a more defensive role in the first half.
