NAIROBI, Kenya, October 21, 2026 – Following a humbling 5–0 defeat to military outfit Ulinzi Starlets at the Police Sacco Grounds on Sunday, Kayole Starlets head coach George Kimani pulled no punches in identifying the tactical lapses that led to their heaviest defeat of the FKF Women’s Premier League (KWPL) campaign.

Having built a reputation for resilience early in the season, Kayole’s defensive setup dissolved under intense pressure from Ulinzi’s attack.
Kimani pointed directly to a high defensive line and self-inflicted panic as the primary catalysts for the collapse.
“We were bad; we panicked because of our own mistakes. We put up a high line and they caught us. I think we switched off at the back. It’s something we can work on and improve,” the gaffer said.
Beyond positional errors, the tactician highlighted late-game conditioning as a priority ahead of their next outing, observing that his side faded physically as Ulinzi pulled away in the closing stages.
