It has been a difficult season for coach Collins Tiego and his Kangemi Ladies FC after losing all league games except one, and on Monday they suffered another humiliating 8-1 defeat by Bunyore Starlets.

 

The defeat meant that Kangemi Ladies have been relegated from the Kenya Women Premier League, but coach Collins Tiego is optimistic about the future of his team.

 

In the post match interview, Tiego said he knew from the beginning that his intentions were to prepare a stronger team for the future.

 

"You cannot say Kangemi Ladies is an experienced team," he began.

 

"All I sought to do throughout the season is help the ladies gain experience as I prepare them for the future," he added.

 

Kangemi Ladies had started the game well against Bunyore Starlets by scoring in the first minute through their Striker Daisy Cherop. 

 

However, their lead was short lived as Bunyore quickly  equalized and went ahead to score eight goals sealing their massive victory. 

 

The Kangemi Ladies tactician attributed the failure of his team to guard their lead to inexperience.

 

"I have a promising squad; we had our good moments on the pitch but lack of experience made it difficult for us.

"We will regroup and start planning for next season and I am confident we will come back stronger," he said.
