University of Eldoret (UOE), who are women football defending champions, have vowed to defend their title.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started training immediately after schools were opened in September. Throughout September, the ladies have been working hard to ensure we defend the title,\u201d said Pilishi, who once coached Kenya Women’s Premier League side, Eldoret Falcons.<\/p>\n

In a bid to defend their title, UOE Ladies drew 2-2 with Gene Queens and played to a barren draw with Eldoret Polytechnic.<\/p>\n

They, however, beat Moi Girls 3-0, Eldoret Falcons 1-0 and were held to a barren draw against Young Bullets among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough these friend matches, we are able to gauge ourselves and know the weakness we had and rectify them before heading to the core of the university games,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said he has a strong midfield and defence and will be banking on them in this weekend’s tourney<\/p>\n
