Police Bullets and Ulinzi Starlets maintain unbeaten run in WPL title battle

Reigning Football Kenya Federation Women’s Premier League champions Kenya Police Bullets and their archrivals Ulinzi Starlets won their respective matches to extend their winning streaks.

Bullets, who are keen to successfully defend their title, edged out debutants Shabana Starlets 2-1 in a tightly contested duel played at Police Sacco Stadium.

Lorna Nyarinda and Rebecca Okwaro were on target for the law enforcers with Sylvia Ondiba pulling one back for Shabana.

Ulinzi, on the other hand, had no regards for their guests Kibera Soccer Women thrashing them 6-1 at Ulinzi Sports Complex.

At the Raila Odinga Stadium in Homabay County, Gideon Starlets piled more pressure on struggling former champions Vihiga Queens as they routed them 3-0 to register their first win of the season.

The soldiers rallied from a goal down after Anna Arusi put Kibera Soccer in the lead in the 19th minute. The goal awakened the fighting spirits in the soldiers, who then dominated the duel, to take a 3-1 half-time lead thanks to goals from evergreen Saliya Rasoha, Sharline Nambengele and Velma Juma.
