Thika Queens drop CECAFA ambitions to focus on KWPL

Thika Queens Team Manager Glenstone Muganga says they are now directing all their energy to the Kenya Women Premier League, shifting attention from the CECAFA Women Club Championship they were set to feature in May.

With no indication of Kenya’s readmission to international football anytime soon, Muganga is only thinking of clinching the KWPL title, as the CECAFA fiesta kick-off date is fast approaching - on May 22 in Uganda.

“It really affected us but it’s not a must we play in the championship. It has its own advantages playing there but there is always a next time if things won’t get fixed in good time. Right now, our focus in the remaining six games which we have to win,” said Muganga.

Queens have 26 points from 13 matches, nine adrift league leaders Vihiga Queens who represented Kenya in the last CECAFA edition.

Muganga meanwhile has revealed they have roped in influential striker Wendy Achieng.

“We brought in Wendy Achieng and she has brought so much energy into the team since joining us and we hope for more from her.”

Their next assignment is against Gaspo on Saturday at the Stima Members Club.
