Gaspo buoyed by win over Vihiga, focus on Cecafa title

Gaspo FC Team Manager Vivian Akinyi believes that they have all what it takes to clinch the Kenyan Women Premier League title this season, after edging Vihiga Queens from the top of the table on Sunday.

Gaspo FC climbed to the top of the log after defeating Vihiga Queens 2-0 at the Mumias Sports Complex.

Akinyi says the win has buoyed them as  they bid to maintain the smooth run which has seen them rise to the top, eyes on the title and representing Kenya and East African Region in the third edition of the Caf Women's Champions League later this year.

Akinyi, a twin sister to Sharon Aluoch, a defender at the club, was appointed manager of the club in October last year after serving as he first choice Goalkeeper for long in the same team.

She has urged his charges to maintain focus, reminding them the competition is still tough.

“This is our season and we will not take chances. We are at our best now and that’s why I want to urge everyone in our team to be focused and determined. We only need to maintain the winning streak and take on each team with the seriousness it deserves.”

Forward Ann Arusi gave the Mohammed Ibrahim coached side the first goal before Emily Andayi scored the second goal to complete the win which puts them on the apex of the league with 24 points.

Vihiga Queens has been leading since the league kicked off, but the loss saw them drop to second position with 22 points.
