Bungoma Queens forward Catherine Khaemba is lighting up the Women’s Premier League with her exceptional goal-scoring prowess.

Currently leading the league’s scoring chart with nine goals, Khaemba has become a symbol of hope for her team and harbours dreams of representing Kenya on the international stage.

Speaking to Citizen Digital after her impressive performance in a narrow 2-1 loss to Kenya Police on Sunday, Khaemba shared her ambitions.

“I am working hard every day to improve my game. My dream is to represent Kenya at the international level,” she said.

The match, held in Bungoma, was a fiercely contested affair, with Kenya Police edging out the home side. Despite the defeat, there was a glimmer of hope for Bungoma Queens as the national women’s team coach and Kenya Police tactician, Beldine Odemba, attended the game.

After the match, Bungoma Queen's head coach Godfrey Mabonga revealed that Odemba expressed her intent to call up more than five players from the team to the national squad.

“It’s a proud moment for us as a club to see our players being considered for national duty. This will motivate them to work even harder,” Mabonga stated.
