Vihiga Queens boss Senelwa has eyes on KWPL title

Vihiga Queens Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Michael Ogada Senelwa believes they have what it takes to restore their lost glory by clinching the FKF Women's Premier League this season.

The four-time champions lost their supremacy to the new champions Kenya Police Bullets last season who won it with 49 points as the Kidundu-based side finished second with 41 similar to third-placed Ulinzi Starlets.

After four rounds, Vihiga are on top of the table with 10 points, one above newbies Trinity Starlets who are second as Kenya Police Bullets sits third with seven points.

Bungoma Queens and Kibera Soccer Women wrap up the top five with six points each in that order.

Speaking to Citizen Digital, Senelwa who is also vying for the post of Chairperson for Vihiga County in the coming Football Kenya Federation branches elections said the girls are at their best as he warned the opponents to expect fireworks.

“We kicked off the season well and that’s why we are on the top of the table. We had proper preparations before the season which helped us a lot.

“We aim to restore the lost glory by winning the title.

“We want to maintain our leadership by mid-season then go ahead and win it something I believe we can achieve easily if we maintain the focus.”

Senelwa however hailed the new signings saying they have jelled well with the rest and he expects a lot from them.

“They have fast adapted our style of play and I hope that they will continue with the same momentum going forward as we look to achieve our dream of winning the league.

“I’m so much impressed by the little girl Yvone Musyoka, from four girls at Kibubi Girls High School which is our filler.

“The girl has been playing for 90 minutes since joining the team and her performance has been improving day by day.

“We will miss her services this time she will be sitting for her National Examination (KCSE) but we have the best substitution for the time being.

“I’m congratulating all my players and ensuring them full support from the team, hoping that they will not let us down.”

The CEO also revealed plans to beef up the squad come mid-season, a feat that will be worked on by the technical bench led by head coach Boniface Nyamunyamuh.
