Kibera Soccer Ladies head coach David Vijago has termed their 3-0 win over Kisped Queens on Sunday, April 13, a morale booster as they aim to dethrone Police Bullets from the helm of the FKF Women’s Premier League this season.

Medina Abubakar emerged the hero as she scored a hat trick to hand her side maximum points, which cemented their supremacy at the apex of the league with 41 points, two ahead of second-placed Bullets, as Ulinzi Starlets wrapped up the top three with 36 points in that order.

Speaking to Citizen Digital, Vijago, who doubles up as Junior Starlets assistant coach, hailed her charges for the good fight as he looks forward to winning three remaining fixtures before they are crowned new champions.

“I was very happy for the win, and sincerely it has boosted our morale in winning the title this season.

“It has been our dream to win the league, and I believe this will be our season.

“We only need to win the remaining three matches, and I’m sure nothing will stop us from achieving that.”

Vijago, however, admitted to having been rocked by fresh injuries in his squad, although he remained hopeful that those who picked up knocks will be back in action soon.

“We have some injuries in the squad, but I’m happy that all injured players are recuperating well, and I’m hoping to see them on the pitch soon.

“The injured players include forward Maria Ambila, Esnas Kisia, Rebecca, and Joyce Okuku .

“We only have 17 players in the entire squad, and if many of them get injured, then it’s a big blow to us. All in all, we will continue fighting .”

In other Sunday results, defending champions Kenya Police Bullets thrashed Kisumu All Starlets 7-0 at Kenya School of Government in Kabete as coast representatives Mombasa Olympic FC defeated Bungoma Queens 3-1 in Makande Primary School.

On Saturday, April 12, Ulinzi Starlets edged Bunyore Starlets 3-0 at Ulinzi Sports Complex as Zetech Sparks fell 3-2 in the hands of Trinity Starlets at Zetech University, Mang’u Campus.
