Harambee Starlets striker Jentrix Shikangwa has her eyes firmly set on winning the Tanzanian Women’s Premier League golden boot after she plundered a four-goal haul to help Simba Queens smash 11 unanswered goals past Mlandizi Queens at the KMC Stadium on Wednesday.

The evergreen sharpshooter has notched 12 goals after ten rounds so far and has set a target of 20 plus goals as she aims to emerge the top scorer again.

Shikangwa, 22, won the golden boot in her first season with the Tanzanian giants in 2022/2023 season after notching 17 goals in 12 matches.

The 11-0 win saw the reigning champions cement their position at the summit of the league table with 28 points after ten matches, boasting nine wins and one draw.

Providing two assists was an icing on the cake for the former Vihiga Queens striker following the outstanding performance. 

“This season, I want to be the top scorer. I’m very happy with the return of Aisha [a fellow Simba Queens player]. Our communication on the pitch is excellent, and that has been key to my performance. Fans should expect a lot of goals, and we hope to win the title,” said Shikangwa.

Shikangwa re-joined Simba Queens from Chinese side Beijing Professional FC after her six-month contract with the club expired.

Meanwhile, Harambee Starlets captain Ruth Ingosi also made a significant contribution to Simba Queens’ dominant victory, scoring a goal and providing a hat trick of assists.
