Kayole Starlets head into their FKF Women’s Premier League clash against Gideon Starlets tomorrow with renewed belief, quiet determination, and a shared desire to change their recent story.

After a challenging run of results, the Nairobi based side is leaning on unity, hard work, and lessons learned to spark a turnaround.

The Starlets have gone four matches without a win, a stretch that has tested both confidence and character. Assistant coach Esther Mazira admits the period has been difficult, but insists the mood in camp remains focused and hopeful.

"It has not been a good run for us because we did not manage to get maximum points in our previous four matches." Mazira said.

"But we have continued to put in the work to find the right tune and go back to winning ways."

Kayole Starlets currently sit eighth on the league table with 16 points from 12 matches, a position that still leaves room for a strong push as the season progresses. Training sessions this week have been intense and reflective, with the technical bench reviewing recent performances and making targeted adjustments.

According to Mazira, the team has placed emphasis on refining tactical structures while honestly addressing areas that fell short.

"In this league, every team is capable, so our full focus is on the next match, which is Gideon Starlets," she noted.

A major area of focus has been defensive organization, following recent losses to Trinity Starlets, Soccer Assassins, Zetech Sparks, and Kenya Police Bullets.

"We have been working closely with the players defensively, and that has been the key area," Mazira added.

Against Gideon Starlets, Kayole seek renewed confidence, momentum, and belief as they fight for revival.
