The FKF Women Premier League (WPL) is back this weekend, resuming after a two-week hiatus for FIFA international engagements. The league returns with a packed schedule and intense matches, with teams looking to bounce back, maintain their form, or break their current streaks. Let’s delve into the matches and examine the setups and stakes for each side.
Saturday, 2nd November – Bungoma Queens vs. Vihiga Queens
One of the highlight fixtures of the weekend will see an in-form Bungoma Queens hosting former champions Vihiga Queens at the Bungoma National Polytechnic. This clash is scheduled for 12 noon on Saturday, November 2nd, and promises to be an exciting duel between two teams aiming for top-table dominance.
Bungoma Queens currently sit fourth in the standings, having won two matches and lost one. Their recent form has shown consistency, and they will be eager to leverage home advantage to secure a victory against one of the league’s top teams. However, Vihiga Queens, positioned third in the league, are formidable opponents who remain unbeaten, boasting two wins and a draw so far this season. Their defensive solidity and attacking prowess make them a tough nut to crack. This game will likely test both teams’ strategies and resilience, as Bungoma Queens hope to hand Vihiga Queens their first loss of the season.
Sunday, 3rd November – Wadadia vs. Bunyore Starlets
Sunday’s match between Wadadia and Bunyore Starlets at the Mumias Complex, kicking off at noon, is expected to be a high-stakes showdown. Both teams are currently struggling and have yet to taste victory this season. Wadadia have faced a tough start, losing all three of their matches, which has placed them at the bottom of the league. Bunyore Starlets have also had a challenging season and recently parted ways with their head coach following a series of disappointing results.
This encounter will be pivotal for both clubs, as they are desperate for points to begin climbing the table. A win could inject much-needed confidence and momentum into their campaigns, while another loss would deepen concerns and pressure. With both teams seeking redemption, fans can expect a fiercely contested match with each side giving its all.
Zetech Sparks vs. Ulinzi Starlets
Another Sunday fixture features Zetech Sparks, who will be hosting Ulinzi Starlets at Zetech University’s Mangu campus, kicking off at 1:00 pm. Zetech Sparks have had a mixed season so far, showcasing moments of promise but lacking the consistency needed to climb higher in the league. Ulinzi Starlets, on the other hand, have yet to secure a win, with two draws and one loss to their name.
Both teams will be aiming for a breakthrough. Ulinzi Starlets, in particular, will be eager to convert their draws into wins and get their season on track. Zetech Sparks, with home advantage, will likely push for a victory to capitalize on Ulinzi’s recent struggles. It will be interesting to see which team can capitalize on this opportunity and potentially gain momentum for the upcoming fixtures.
Mombasa Olympics vs. Kisped Queens
Further south, Kisped Queens will be traveling to Mombasa to face the hosts, Mombasa Olympics, at Ronald Ngala Primary School from 1:00 pm. Both teams have experienced mixed results, with each side registering one win, one draw, and one loss. This symmetry in performance sets the stage for an evenly matched encounter, where each side will be seeking to tip the scales in their favor.
For Mombasa Olympics, home-field advantage could play a crucial role, while Kisped Queens will be keen to assert themselves as strong competitors in the league. This match will likely be a tactical battle, with both teams striving to break the deadlock and improve their standings.
Kisumu Allstarlets vs. Trinity Starlets
In another exciting match scheduled for 1:00 pm on Sunday at Moi Stadium, Kisumu, league leaders Trinity Starlets will take on Kisumu Allstarlets. Trinity Starlets have been in impeccable form, maintaining an unbeaten run that has seen them soar to the top of the table. They have displayed consistency and strong coordination, making them one of the most formidable sides this season.
On the other hand, Kisumu Allstarlets are yet to find their rhythm, struggling without a single win in their last three matches. With two losses and one draw, they are in dire need of points to avoid slipping further down the standings. Playing against a high-flying team like Trinity Starlets will be challenging, but it also offers an opportunity for a potential upset. Trinity, however, will be fully focused on extending their unbeaten streak and solidifying their position as league leaders.
Postponed Fixture – Police Bullets vs. Kibera Soccer Women
The much-anticipated clash between Police Bullets FC and Kibera Soccer Women has been postponed, as several players from both sides were on international duty with the Kenyan national team in the Pink Ladies Tournament. In this competition, Kenya won one match and lost the other two, highlighting the challenges the team faced at an international level. With these players needing recovery time after national duty, the league decided to reschedule the fixture, ensuring that both teams can compete with fully fit squads when they meet.
As the FKF Women Premier League returns, fans are in for an exhilarating weekend filled with intriguing matchups and high-stakes battles. This week’s games will not only shake up the current standings but also offer teams an opportunity to define their season trajectories. From title contenders like Trinity Starlets aiming to preserve their unbeaten streak to teams like Bunyore Starlets and Wadadia looking for redemption, the stakes are high, and every point counts.
This weekend’s action promises drama, competition, and skill as the FKF Women Premier League continues its journey, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead.
