Kenya Police Bullets strengthened their push for the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Women’s Premier League title with a commanding 5-0 victory over Vihiga Queens, extending the western Kenya side’s losing streak to five consecutive matches.
The result underlined Police’s dominance over Vihiga, replicating the emphatic performance they produced last season when they thrashed the former champions 9-0.
Police head coach David Bujego said his team approached the match with the title race in mind, despite playing away from home.
“We came into this match fully prepared, with the title race firmly in mind. We knew we were playing away from home and would not have the advantage of our supporters, but that did not stop us from executing our game plan and creating scoring opportunities,” he said.
Police continued their winning run despite Bujego’s absence from the touchline. He had been away assisting Mildred Cheche at the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup, where Kenya reached the group stage for the first time.
Faith Mboya and Airin Madalina were among the scorers, with Madalina grabbing a brace before second-half substitute Rebecca Okwaro also found the net.
Vihiga coach Boniface Nyamunyamu admitted that his immediate priority had shifted from challenging for the title to avoiding relegation.
He attributed the team’s struggles to rebuilding following the departure of several key players, including their former captain, but remained proud of his squad.
Official results show Vihiga also drew 3-3 against Elim White Ladies on October 31, meaning the 5-0 defeat was their sixth loss in seven league matches.
Meanwhile, Ulinzi Starlets maintained their perfect start after edging Bungoma Queens 1-0, with Berveline Adika scoring the decisive goal. She was named Player of the Match.
Ulinzi now lead the standings with 21 points from seven matches, while Police Bullets have 18 points.
The two sides finished first and second respectively last season, with Police claiming the 2025/26 title on 52 points and Ulinzi finishing runners-up on 47.
Elsewhere, Gideon Starlets beat Kayole Starlets 3-1, while Zetech Sparks defeated Mathare United Women by the same scoreline.
Zetech moved to 11 points, ahead of Mathare on 10, while Gideon climbed to eight points. Bungoma remain on two points after seven matches without a win.
