Ulinzi Starlets' head coach Joseph Wambua has warned his players that they must beat leaders Vihiga Queens on Sunday at Ulinzi Complex if they are to win the Kenya Women's Premier League title.
"To win the KWPL title, we have no choice but to beat champions Vihiga," Wambua said.
He added: "We have played our role as the technical bench to ensure you are all ready for the match and the ball is now in your court," he told his players.
In the first leg, Ulinzi Starlets lost 2-1 against Vihiga Queens at Moi Stadium, Kisumu — a defeat Wambua attributed to poor officiating.
He exuded confidence that his squad is fit and has what it takes to bring down the 2022/2023 Champion Vihiga Queens.
"We didn't participate in the transfer window and our squad is still intact," Wambua noted.
Meanwhile, Vihiga Queens' head coach Boniface Nyamunyamu has equally declared the team ready for Ulinzi.
"We know we are a target of every team by the mere fact that we are top of the table. However, we plan to fight until the last day," Nyamunyamu asserted.
He added: "For us, it's one match at a time and our focus is very much on winning the trophy," he added.
