Kenya Police Bullets are top with 31 points, three better than defending champions Vihiga Queens in second.<\/p>\n<p>The soldiers are third with 26 points. Angila said a slow start and defensive lapses cost them against Ulinzi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had a poor start which brought down the squad\u2019s morale. We never utilised our chances,\u201d said Angila.<\/p>\n<p>They now go back to the drawing board to address their shortcomings.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Ulinzi Starlets assistant coach Rodgers Omari dedicated the win to head coach Joseph Wambua, who missed the match through illness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t have any doubts that we would perform today. We knew Nakuru would come prepared. We beat them 5-0 in the first leg and we knew they would be targeting revenge,\u201d said Omari.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur passing and system combination worked but Nakuru gave us problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Keziah Ikhungu and Lucy Nato struck for the winners while Wanjala Lenah netted Nakuru\u2019s consolation.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Bunyore secured a thrilling 3-2 victory over Zetech in Luanda. In other matches, Kibera beat Wadadia 4-2 while Police Bullets edged Vihiga Queens 1-0.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, off-the-pitch problems affecting Bungoma Queens and Gaspo Ladies saw a match between the two fail to kick off.
