Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Gaspo women’s team manager Edward Githua has dismissed talk of title contention in the wake of impressive back-to-back wins over Kisumu All-Starlets and Kayole.<\/p>\n

The Gatundu-based side thumped Kisumu 6-0 last week before demolishing Kayole 5-0 on Sunday to ascend to the summit of the Kenya Women’s Premier League standings.<\/p>\n

“It’s good to start the season well. Scoring 11 and conceding none is a sign of progress but the players cannot let that get into their heads. No team has won a title after winning two matches. I believe in one game at a time,” said Githua.<\/p>\n

“We haven’t conceded but the team did not have a thorough preseason and there’s a long way to go. Matches against Nakuru, Ulinzi, Vihiga, Thika, and Zetech will be a real test for us if we have to go all the way.<\/p>\n

“Anything is possible in football. Who expected defending champions Thika Queens to lose against Bunyore Starlets?”<\/p>\n

Githua has struggled to find a suitable replacement for midfielder Sheril Angachi who joined rivals Ulinzi Starlets despite having several options in Corazon Aquino, Diana Wacera, Winnie Mugeshi, Stellah Anyango, and Sharon Kumoru.<\/p>\n

“The midfield has not recuperated after Angachi left. We lack a midfield controller who dictates proceedings but we must fix that.”<\/p>\n

Githua reckons the addition of striker Bertha Omita has solved the goal-scoring problems that derailed their title ambitions in the two preceding seasons. Omita’s lethal partnership with Mercy Airo and Elizabeth Wambui upfront has seen her score four goals thus far.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Bunyore Starlets head coach Daniel Arunga said their shock 2-1 win over Thika Queens at Mumboha Stadium on Tuesday has put them on course for more positive results.<\/p>\n

He, however, cautioned his charges against resting on their laurels.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should not be carried away by that win because we are facing Nakuru in our next match at Mumboha grounds, so we need to prepare well,\u201d Arunga said.<\/p>\n

Arunga said Bunyore Starlets crashed 5-0 to Wadadia in their opening match due to stage fright.<\/p>\n
