Vihiga Queens hail 'team unity' after wrapping up fourth league title

Unity and hard work have been the key factors in Vihiga Queens’ Football Kenya Federation Women Premier League (FKFWPL) title triumph, team captain Enaz Mango has said.

Queens won the title on Saturday following their 3-1 victory over varsity side Zetech Sparks as they wrapped up a fourth league crown at Mumias Sports Complex in Kakamega County.

“The team work was exceptional and everyone delivered on their part. We took on all challenges as a team and with support from the County Government we prevailed,” Mango told Citizen Digital.

The club won its first league title the same year they were promoted to the KWPL during the 2016/17 season. They then won it again for two seasons in a row between 2017/18 and 2018/19.

The next season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic with Thika Queens taking the title last year and relinquishing it to Vihiga this campaign.

Head coach Boniface Nyamunyamu said the ‘commitment and passion’ from his players made his task easy.

“The players have been showing up at the training grounds daily. Training was their motto to win the league. Their commitment and passion has been of great impact too,” Nyamunyamu said

Nyamunyamu took the mandate from Alex Alumirah (currently Harambee Starlets head coach) from 22nd August 2021 after he (Alumirah) decided to seek greener pastures in the neighbouring country, Tanzania.
