Harambee Starlets yesterday stretched their unbeaten run at the ongoing Cecafa Senior Women’s Challenge Cup to three matches after thrashing South Sudan 4-0 at Azam Complex in Dar es Salaam.

Faith Mboya gave Harambee Starlets the lead after only 3 minutes. The South Sudan team defended in numbers and closed out Kenya’s attack till the interval.

In the second half, Violet Nanjala Wanyonyi, Martha Amunyolet Emedot and Elizabeth Ochaka got their names on the score sheet to ensure Kenya collected another big win.

“I am happy that the team is working hard to score many goals and we hope to put up another good performance against Tanzania on Saturday,” said Kenya’s coach Beldine Lilian Odemba.

The Championship, played on a round robin basis between five teams, will climax on Saturday in the deciding match between table leaders Tanzania and Kenya.

Twiga Stars who are also using the Championship to prepare for the TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) lead the table with a better goal difference than Kenya who also have nine points.

Kenya got off to a perfect start last Sunday, beating Burundi 3-0. Martha Amunyole scored a brace before Faith Mboya sealed the win.

On Tuesday, Harambee Starlets maintained their perfect start after thrashing arch rivals and defending champions Uganda Crested Cranes 4-0 at Aazam Complex.

Diana Wacera put Kenya ahead in the 18th minute before captain Dorcas Shikobe made it 2-0 eight minutes later.

Violet Nanjala then ensured the Beldine Odemba charges will go to the break with a healthy 3-0 lead after netting the third goal in the 28th minute.

Martha Emedot rounded off the win for Kenya late into the second half as Harambee Starlets won 4-0.
