Ulinzi Starlets eye KWPL top spot ahead of Vihiga Queens blockbuster

The Soldiers are coming from a 2-0 win over Trinity Starlets last Sunday, which moved them to second place in the table with 41 points, one behind leaders and defending Champions Kenya Police Bullets.

Trinity Starlets, Vihiga Queens and Kibera Soccer Women complete the top five with 34, 30 and 28 points respectively.

Ochieng said he believes in her charges that they will harvest maximum points and fuel their dream to clinch the title this season.

“We have had good preparations so far and we want to win the match on Saturday. We understand Vihiga is a tough side but we shall give our best. We want to win the league and that’s our focus for now. If we win against Vihiga we will be number on the table and that will motivate us a lot.”

His opposite number Boniface Nyamunyuh urged his charges to stay focused ahead of the mouthwatering clash.

“It will be a tough match but we are ready for them. It’s sad that I will miss the services of my three players who are nursing injuries and it’s my hope they get well soon because I need their services in our quest to win the title.”

Vihiga have won the Women Premier League four times and they are aiming to reclaim their glory in the current season after missing out on the title for the last three seasons.

The other fixture on Saturday will see newbies Gideon Starlets taking on Police Bullets at the Raila Odinga Stadium in Homabay County.
