In the only Women Premier League (WPL) fixture of the day, Ulinzi Starlets host Gaspo Women at Ruaraka Grounds, on Saturday 4 June, with a second place finish and bragging rights at stake. The soldiers played to a one-all draw against the Kiambu based side in the first leg, with Lanoline Aoko opening the scoring for the soldiers before Mercy Airo bagged the equaliser for Gaspo in the second half.

Ulinzi are currently second on the log at 41 points, five more that Gaspo who are out to cut the deficit to just two points with victory away. “This is a crucial match for us as it carries alot of weight as to whether we achieve that second-place finish we set our sights on after Vihiga Queens clinched the league. We do not want to head to the final match under pressure so we have prepared for a must win encounter. We had time to review our first leg match against Gaspo and are aware of, and have worked on, our mistakes that led to the draw,” offered coach Mwanza.

A win for Gaspo, who have since parted ways with coach Domitila Wangui, would give them a chance to finish the league in the final match of the season when they play Trans Nzoia Falcons as Ulinzi take on Zetech Sparks. The match is set for 3pm at Ruaraka Grounds.
