The defender rose high to head home an Odhiambo cross with Bunyore keeper off her line. The hosts took a 2-0 to the break.Five minutes into the second half, Noel Shilachilo had an opportunity to half the deficit but she failed to take advantage of a loose ball inside the area, allowing Mbaru to collect the ball.Thika took control of the proceedings as the clock ticked while the visitors looked dangerous on the break but their counter attacks didn’t amount to much as good defending from the hosts helped them preserve their advantage.Queens had a couple of good late chances and they made one count in the 30th minute when Lovenita Lupemba fired poked home a loose ball for a 3-0 win.
