Kenya Women Premier League (WPL) debutants Bunyore Starlets go up against rivals Ulinzi Starlets at Mumboha stadium with the hosts looking to continue their almost perfect run at home. On paper, Ulinzi are the better side but Bunyore have proved to be a tough side to beat at home with Gaspo Women and Trans Nzoia Falcons the only side to have picked maximum points at Mumboha so far.

While a win will not be enough to surpass Nakuru Queens who are seventh on the log, it will help the side move to within one point of the Nakuru-based side, at least for a few hours before the Benard Esitoko-led side take on Thika Queens on Sunday. “We have been training since our last match, well aware that Ilinzi are a tough side. They defeated us 6-0 away in Nairobi but they will not have it easy here. All but one of my players are available for selection. Skipper Priscah Ambale could miss out with a knee injury. However, a key player Juliana Kaupe is back after nursing an injury she suffered during our match against Wadadia. Her fitness levels may not be at her peak but she is a welcome addition,” offered Arunga. WPL Vihiga’s to lose, but can they really bottle it?Meanwhile, Joseph Mwanza-coached Ulinzi are looking to get back to winning ways after registering draws in their last two matches, away to Vihiga Queens and at home to Wadadia. The military side is out to reclaim second place while hoping Gaspo Women drop points against Zetech Sparks in the other match of the day.
