The Kakamega-based side needed a first half goal to sink the Dockers and remain on course to win the title
Kakamega Homeboyz have maintained their push for the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) title after downing Bandari FC 1-0 in a match played at Bukhungu Stadium on Wednesday.
Christopher Masinza scored the all-important for Homeboyz in the 9th minute as the Dockers’ poor run in the league continued away from home.
Masinza powered home from close range to hand Homeboyz maximum points and they have now moved top of the 17-team table with 26 points, one more than champions Gor Mahia but Tusker can dislodge them if they beat Wazito FC in a late kick-off contest.

The Dockers should have to blame themselves for returning home without even a point as their striker William Wadri wasted a number of scoring chances. The Ugandan forward should have put Bandari level in the 11th minute but failed to score after he directed his effort wide.
Another deflected ball was intercepted by Nicholas Meja of Bandari but the end product was poor as Wadri reacted slowly to the ball with Homeboyz keeper taking it away.
Shaban Kenga then set up forward Yema Mwana, who with only the keeper to beat unleashed a feeble shot which was punched to a fruitless corner.
Bandari, who are yet to win a league match since they were tossed out of the Caf Confederation Cup, will now face Kisumu All-Stars on Saturday.
