Kayole Starlets eye bounce back against Kisped Queens

Kayole Starlets are determined to bounce back after suffering a narrow 2–1 defeat to Kibera Soccer Women last weekend in the FKF Women’s Premier League.

‎The loss saw the Nairobi-based side miss an opportunity to climb higher in the standings, leaving them seventh on the log with 22 points, level with Kibera but separated by goal difference.

‎Speaking to Citizen Digital, assistant coach Esther Mazira admitted that missed chances cost her side maximum points despite a promising performance.

‎“We played well and created several clear scoring opportunities, but we were not clinical in front of goal. The performance was good, we conceded very late but at least we picked up the positives from the match,” Mazira noted.

‎Kayole showed attacking intent throughout the match but were punished for their wastefulness, allowing Kibera to capitalize and secure all three points.

‎Attention now shifts to their upcoming fixture against Kisped Queens.

‎"We now shift focus to the next match against Kisped and with the same performance, I believe we will get maximum points," she added.

‎The encounter is scheduled for Sunday at Mumboha Stadium in Kisumu County, as the clash presents a crucial opportunity for Kayole Starlets to regain momentum and strengthen their push up the table as the league campaign intensifies.

‎A positive result for Kayole could not only boost their morale, but also tighten the race in the mid-table standings, as the season enters a decisive phase.
