WPL: Vihiga Queens angling for a fourth, or is it too early to call?

With only three matches played in the Kenya Women Premier League, Vihiga Queens have taken the summit by storm with a 100% record, having won all their matches so far.They have gone up the log since the first matchday, from the fourth position after their season opener against Nakuru City Queens, to third after beating Ulinzi Starlets at Utalii Grounds in the second match, to taking the pole position following their third consecutive win for the season after hammering Trans Nzoia Falcons.Despite it being too early to call, the three-time Kenyan champions seem to be en route to their fourth title with Gaspo Women, Thika Queens, Trans Nzoia Falcons, and Bunyore Starlets leading the chasing pack.2021/2022 FKF Women Premier League Standings as at Friday, 7/01/2022..#VihigaQueens#LegacyMakers. pic.twitter.com/uNTx6QsJ5e— Vihiga Queens FC (@Vihigaqueens) January 7, 2022 Having tasted CAF Women Champions league football in its newness could be a big motivating factor for the Boniface Nyamunyamu side who perhaps have a second appearance at the continental competition in mind.Gaspo Women, who had a perfect start at the top dropped to second after falling to Thika Queens while the latter has made strides up from sixth on an opening day to third currently, coming off a stumble in the shocking defeat to Bunyore Starlets to upset Gaspo recently in the Kiambu Derby.Newbies Bunyore Starlets, who started off on the wrong footing after losing by six goals in the opening match against Wadadia have covered the deficit and are currently fifth on the log following back-to-back wins against Thika Queens and Nakuru City Queens, both identical 2-1 wins.The financial aspect bit aside, matches in the Kenya Women Premier League should have at least 2 well equipped ambulances as well. And the medics should be as proactive as they during the men’s matches. These ones have just strolled after a distress summon by the ref— Murimi Njiru (@muriminjirujnr) January 4, 2022 Ulinzi Starlets have shown early signs of struggling past the Neddy Atieno era in their first three games of the season.The girls from the military side won their opening match against newbies Kangemi Ladies but they still conceded two goals in that match. they then lost to a sleeky Vihiga Queens in the second match before playing to a barren draw against Wadadia in their last outing.Ulinzi’s tactician Joseph Wambua admitted to missing Neddy’s maturity in front of goal after the defeat to Vihiga Queens but called upon his players to fill in the shoes left by the Kenyan international.The KWPL not slowing down and we can have six more matches on the cards this weekend. Will newbies Bunyore Starlets upset Ulinzi at home? The only way to find out, is wait!Tupatane uwanjani. #FKFWPL pic.twitter.com/FwLX2U0WmC— FKF Caretaker – Women (@fkfcc_women) January 6, 2022 Kangemi Ladies are in trouble this early and are yet to record a Premier League maiden win, settling for the last position in the company of Kayole Starlets who recorded their first win last time out.Kisumu AllStarlets, Nakuru City Queens, and Zetech Sparks are all on three points and a change in guard at the bottom could happen to any of them.It could be too early to call, with 19 matches left to play, but Vihiga Queens have already shown intent for a fourth!
