WPL: Achieng and Etot lead tight contest for FKF Women’s Premier League golden boot chase
With just six fixtures pending until the season closes, the contest will go down to the wire.
Kisumu All Starlets Monica Etot is fourth with 13 goals while Nakuru City Queen’s Elizabeth Muteshi, Wadadia’s Jacqueline Chesang, Gaspo Women’s Lydiah Akoth and Maurine Achieng of Vihiga Queens boast 12 goals apiece.

The Kisumu-based side are facing relegation from FKFWPL.
However, there is a likelihood that Puren Alukwe and Monica Etot could sneak in between the two.
Etot, who is struggling with an injury, would not only fire All Starlets to safety with a treble against Trans Nzoia Falcons but also help herself to the top spot.

WPL CHAMPIONS! Vihiga Queens clinch fifth Women Premier League title
Vihiga are now four points ahead of second-place Gaspo Women with one round of matches left.
The youngster has endured a dry spell as she has gone for the last five matches without finding the back of the net.
The same can be said for Madalina, as she will have to score for Bunyore in their last game and help the side retain league status, as they are just two points above the red zone.

FKFPL ‘Why obsession with foreign coaches’ – Shimanyula blasts Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards
Shimanyula believes the local coaches can be more successful if they are well remunerated and given the necessary resources.
"Topping the scoring chart isn't a joke. It comes with a lot of pressure from both the coach, team-mates as well as the fans. As the striker, when you are off the game, you must shift fast and pave the way to someone else to try her luck," she added.
Meanwhile, Buyore Starlets face Nakuru City Queens on the final day, while Zetech Sparks will make a short trip to Thika for a date with hosts Thika Queens.
