Ambitious Rupia out to fire Leopards to continental football

AFC Leopards goal scoring machine Elvis Rupia is confident of firing the team back to the CAF Champions League by winning the league title this season.

The former Wazito FC striker was instrumental in Ingwe’s win at the weekend, against Bidco United, bagging all the goals in the 2-0 win on Saturday, and he maintains that the big cats have every reason to bag the gong, elusive for 22 years, and return to the pinnacle of continental football.

After two rounds of matches, Rupia tops the league scorer chart with three goals from two games, having also been on target in the 2-1 win over Tusker in the season opener.

“As a team, this time round we want to finish at least top of league so that our team can have something to celebrate come end of season. Of course when the team achieves something definitely the playing unit will have gained something.

“We have a clear target as a team which is to return to the continental football and that will automatically bring joy  to the faces of our ever supportive fans,” he underscored.

Leopards will now sharpen their claws for Sofapaka whom they confront this weekend at Kasarani.
