Africa-Press – Kenya. Bungoma Queens’ head coach Godfrey Mabonga is looking to bounce back from inconsistent results in the Kenya Women’s Premier League.The coach says they are determined to stop Kisped Queens’ momentum and strengthen their own position during this weekend’s away fixture.“We know what is at stake in this match,” Mabonga said ahead of the fixture.
He insisted that discipline and game management are key areas ahead of the clash.
“Kisped Queens are coming from a win, and I expect them charges to be confident. For us, it is about staying focused on our game plan, especially away from home. We have worked on our shape and concentration because small mistakes can decide matches at this stage of the season.”
He added that the team is targeting points to steady their campaign and create distance from the danger zone.
“These are the kinds of games that define the season. A positive result will give us breathing space and confidence going forward.”
He added, “The players understand their responsibility, and we aim to compete aggressively, take our chances, and come away with something to show for the effort,” he went on.
The team has focused on tightening the defensive structure in training, while targeting sharper execution in the final third as they seek to leave the fixture with maximum points.
Meanwhile, Kisped Queens will equally be targeting maximum points when they take on Bungoma Queens in a crucial Women’s Premier League fixture this weekend.
The side is looking to build on the momentum from their first win of the season—a hard-fought 2–1 victory over Kisumu All Starlets. The win ended a difficult run and injected fresh belief into the squad.
Speaking ahead of the Bungoma clash, head coach Daniel Minjis described the win as a major morale booster, saying it has inspired his players to raise their commitment and intensity in training as they prepare for upcoming matches.
“Kisumu All Starlets were confident of beating us because both teams were yet to register a win in the league. We had to go for the points to improve our position in the standings,” said Minjis.
Minjis believes another victory against Bungoma Queens would significantly improve Kisped Queens’ league position and help steer them away from the relegation zone.
“We have a strategy. We need wins against Bungoma Queens and Kibera to reach 10 points, which will take us above the relegation zone. To the fans, the earlier results were our fault, but the girls are now up to the task, and we urge them to keep pushing us,” he added.
Despite picking up all three points in their last outing, Kisped Queens remain second from bottom on the league table with four points from eight matches. They are three points above Kisumu All Starlets, who are rooted at the foot of the standings.
Elsewhere, Ulinzi Starlets will play against Kisumu All Starlets at Dandora Stadium on Saturday.
