Ulinzi Starlets face an uphill task against a resurgent Thika Queens in a Football Kenya Federation Women's Premier League match on Saturday, Week-16 match at Ulinzi Sports Complex.

FOOTBALL Gaspo midfielder Lydia Akoth fires warning shot to Zetech Sparks
The Gatundu South-based side currently occupies the top spot on the FKFWPL table.
Dependable sharpshooter Chris Katch scored the all-important goal for Fredick Majani's charges. Queens have claimed 27 points from 15 matches in the 2022/23 campaign.
Thika Queens will go into the match without the services of their dependable striker Wendy Atieno who is still nursing an injury sustained in their 1-0 loss to Zetech Sparks on March 5.
The attacker is the joint WPL top scorer with 13 goals, the same as Monica Etot of Kisumu Allstarlets.
Elsewhere, Zetech Sparks and Kangemi Ladies face off in the second game of the day, where fans should also expect some fireworks.

FOOTBALL Concussed Wendy Atieno out of Thika Queens' crucial fixture
She suffered a concussion in their 1-0 loss to Zetech Sparks in early March.
Sparks have been on a yo-yo run this season, where they have won four games and lost seven.
Bernard Kitolo's charges are still licking their wounds after a 3-0 thrashing by Gaspo Women in their last outing away in Karen.
They are placed 10th on the log on 13 points from as many games, and this will be a perfect opportunity to secure maximum points in front of their fans.
Kangeni Ladies suffered their 14th loss of the season when they fell 2-0 to fellow strugglers Kayole Starlets at Camp Toyoyo on April 9.
The Purple and Blue are second from bottom with a negative three points after they have deducted points after issuing one walkover this season.
When the teams met earlier this season at GEMS Cambridge School, Zetech emerged victorious after a massive 6-1 win.
