Ulinzi fired up for Police Bullets Cup test, says Otieno

Ulinzi Starlets interim coach Wycliffe Otieno is brimming with confidence as his team gears up for the FKF Women’s Cup semi final showdown with Kenya Police Bullets on Saturday.

Although holders Ulinzi have been outsmarted by Police in the Kenyan Women Premier League, Otieno says it will be a different scenario in the FKF Cup.   

While Police Bullets are top of the KWPL table with 43 points from 17 matches, Ulinzi are third with 29, although they have a match in hand.

The coach's confidence stems from the team's impressive performance throughout the tournament and their determination to reclaim the championship.

“We equal to the task, that is why we are here. We have a lot of players who know what to do and the time to execute that in this competition. We really want to retain the cup again. The Premier League is almost gone but then the Cup is what we have at hand,” the coach firmly said.

“The last time we made a lot of mistakes in our defence and conceded an early goal, which made us a little bit uncomfortable and my players panicked. We’ve been working through the ranks from defence, midfield through to the striking and I can confidently say we are way better off.”

The FKF Women’s Cup semi finals will take place at the Dandora Stadium where Kibera Soccer Ladies will take on Zetech Sparks in the second clash.
