After failing in title quest, Bungoma Queens out to wrap season with a banger

The Football Kenya Federation Women's Premier League club Bungoma Queens are aiming to end the season on a high when the final round of matches are played this weekend.

Queens have secured their spot in the 2025/26 top-tier league and will be seeking to wind up their commendable campaign with maximum points against Bunyore Starlets. The fixture comes immediately after the Queens trashed Gideon Starlets 3-0 in the FKF Women's Cup round of 16 at the weekend to qualify for a spot in the quarterfinals.

Speaking to Citizen Digital, Bungoma Queens head coach Godfrey Mabonga said his focus is on help his lethal forward Catherine Khaemba clinch the coveted Golden Boot. Despite struggling with injuries, Khaemba has been prolific upfront and is still firmly in contention for Golden Boot race, alongside Rebecca Okwaro of Kenya Police Bullets.

Mabonga added that Catherine Khaemba winning the Golden Boot will be a motivating factor to the rest of the squad, and also a consolation to Bungoma Queens after failing to win the league.

"We have lost the league but we’re still in the Golden Boot race as a team. If Catherine Khaemba can emerge as the league's top scorer, that will wipe our tears as the league is already out of our hands," Mabonga said.

The two players are just separated by a single goal, Okwaro leads with 14 goals while Khaemba is hot on her heels with 13. Others in race are Joy Oyiro of Ulinzi Starlets, in third place, with 12 goals while Faith Mboya of Kibera Soccer Women comes in fourth with 10 goals.

The Queens will visit Bunyore Starlets for their final fixture of the season at Mumboha Grounds on Sunday starting 1PM local time.
