Queens coach Nyamunyamu confident of title triumph

The Kenya Women Premier League (KWPL) leaders Vihiga Queens coach Boniface Nyamunyamuh believes that the 11 points difference between them and second-placed Ulinzi Starlets will give them the much needed cushion and buffer zone in their chase for the title with eight matches to play.

Vihiga cruised to 47 points ahead of everyone else after walloping eleventh-placed Kayole Starlets 7-0 at the Mumias Sports Complex yesterday.

Mercyline Anyango was the heroine of the match scoring a brace as Topister Situma and Eve Chemuta also on the scoreesheet.

And speaking to Citizen Digital, Nyamunyamuh hailed his charges for the win urging them to continue fighting hard in the remaining matches.

“I thank my players for a good display,” he said. “I feel my strikers failed to convert many chances in that match, something we shall work on going to our next match against Gaspo.

He added: “Our aim is to clinch the title a dream which we’re inching closer to attaining. We have now opened 11 points gap between us and Ulinzi who are second and without ruling them out, I don’t see us failing to harvest a point in the remaining six matches.”

At the same time Nyamunyauh has thanked the caretaker committee for fulfilling their promise of assisting the league clubs with finances token amidst the struggles.

“I can confirm that we received Sh600, 000 mid last week after long complaints. We were told the money channeled was a deficit of two months (February and March) and it has come at the right time where the teams were planning to boycott matches due to financial challenges.

It’s my hope that they will clear the remaining balance soon before the league ends so as to motivate the girls as they continue to build and nature their talents.”

Elsewhere Ulinzi Starlets increased their points to 36 after beating Nakuru City Queens 2-1 in Ruaraka, while Gaspo maintained their third position with 30 points after pulling a goalless draw against Kangemi Ladies at Ligi Ndogo grounds.

Trans Nzoia overtook former champions Thika Queens in fourth with 31 points after beating Bunyore Starlets 2-0 in Mumboha Stadium, Bungoma as the defending champions Thika Queens complete the top five with 30 points.
