Bungoma Queens head coach Godfrey Mabonga praised his team’s performance despite a narrow 1-0 loss to visiting Vihiga Queens in an FKF Women's Premier League match held in Bungoma over the weekend.

Bungoma Queens held firm throughout the game but conceded a late goal to Diana Cheroni Sigei in the 82nd minute, sealing Vihiga Queens’ victory.

Reflecting on the game, Mabonga commended his players' efforts and the high level of play they demonstrated.

He noted that a brief lapse in defensive focus allowed Vihiga Queens to capitalize on a rare opportunity, resulting in the lone goal.

“The girls played a good game,” Mabonga said, emphasizing the resilience his team showed under pressure. Despite the setback, he expressed pride in their overall performance.
