Gor Mahia were on Sunday crowned SportPesa Premier League champions for a record extending 22nd time after bitter rivals AFC Leopards lost 2-1 to APS Bomet at Kericho Green Stadium.

K’Ogalo sealed the title without kicking a ball after their match against Mara Sugar was halted by the Sports Disputes Tribunal on Friday following a disagreement over the venue.

Despite not playing, Gor Mahia still ended the day celebrating after Leopards failed to keep the title race alive. The defeat left Ingwe on 64 points with one match remaining while Gor sit on 68 points, an advantage that cannot be overturned.
