Mathare United women's head coach Ann Aluoch/HANDOUT

Mathare Women United will head into their decisive National Senior Women’s Zone A clash against Gitothua Women FC riding a strong wave of form, with head coach Anne Aluoch insisting the team is treating the encounter like a final.

Aluoch believes their recent consistency has placed them firmly on the brink of the title and promotion to the Kenya Women's Premier League, with the squad determined to finish the job.

Mathare’s dominance has been evident in recent outings, including a commanding 3-1 victory over Hildana Queens. Irene Adhiambo struck twice in that match, while Fridah Ochieng added the third to underline the team’s attacking efficiency in the final third.

The win extended an impressive run that has seen them maintain a firm grip at the top of the standings, while also highlighting their ability to deliver in high-pressure situations.

Earlier results, including key victories over Gor Mahia Queens, have further reinforced their credentials as title favourites. Across the campaign, Mathare Women United have built its charge on remarkable consistency, registering a sustained winning streak that has kept them ahead of their rivals in Zone A.

Their record of 15 wins, one draw and just one defeat from 17 matches tells the story of a side that has combined tactical discipline with squad depth to outpace the competition.

That form has opened up a significant gap over the closest challengers, Bandari Queens FC, leaving Mathare in a commanding position heading into the weekend’s fixture.

A win against Gitothua would mathematically seal the title, allowing the team to wrap up the race early and begin shifting focus towards life in the top tier.

Reflecting on the campaign, Aluoch pointed to their strong away performances and resilience against established opponents as key factors behind their success. With momentum firmly on their side, Mathare Women United now stand just one step away from converting a season of consistency into silverware and promotion.
