Kangemi Ladies eye goal-scoring honours after relegation

After failing to survive the relegation chop, the Kenyan Women Premier (KWPL) debutants Kangemi Ladies now hope golden boot honours for striker Fasila Adhiambo will bring some cheer for the season.

Sunday’s defeat at the hands of Thika Queens at Ligi Ndogo Grounds in Nairobi confirmed Kangemi’s relegation from the top-flight after an underwhelming season in which they have lost 14 of their 18 matches played.

They sit bottom of the 12-team league standings with six points but despite their struggles, Adhiambo has flourished to lead the goal-scoring charts with 12 goals.

“It’s our first time to feature in the Premier League and we have performed very poorly, something which I think was a result of lack of experience from my players.

“All of my players are students at Dagoreti Mixed High School in Nairobi and most of them can’t match the opposition from experienced teams like Vihiga, Thika and the rest,” Orao said.

Orao said they will now do everything as a team to see Adhiambo go all the way and win the golden boot.

“For the remaining matches, I urge my players to support Adhiambo in emerging the league’s top scorer. She has been a revelation and we hope to help her achieve that dream.”

Alukwe Puren of Zetech Saparks currently matches Adhiambo’s goal record with 12 while Vihiga Queens’ Topister Situma comes second with 11 goals with Nakuru City Queens pair Tereza Engesha and Nambagala Nyongesa have nine goals each.

Kagemi will next host the champions Vihiga Queens in the next fixture slated for Saturday at Ligi Ndogo Grounds in Nairobi.
