KHU: Strathmore win hockey Premier League title

Grace Bwire hit four as Strathmore University thrashed United States International University (USIU) 4-2 to capture the Kenya Hockey Union Women’s Premier League title on Saturday.

The result at City Park saw Strathmore secure the championship with two games to spare.

There was no stopping Bwire on the day as she single-handedly sunk USIU with Naomi Kemunto and Beatrice Mbugua scoring the consolation goals.

Strathmore took the lead just seven minutes into the game when Bwire struck the opener but Kemunto restored parity moments later.  

Bwire got on the mark on the mark again to beat goalkeeper Fiona Makena with a quick-fire double in the 25th and 34th minutes.

Mbugua converted a flick in the dying minutes of the third quarter but USIU’s hopes for a comeback were vanquished later on as Bwire struck again.  

USIU head coach John Kabu made several changes to clutch and improve his side’s defense and striking respectively but all were on deaf efforts.

Elsewhere in Kisumu, Lakers and Blazers shared goalless spoils at Simba club, in another women's premier league.

The results maintain them second and third on log with 18 and 17 points respectively.
