WPL Why Kangemi Ladies fixture against Bunyore Starlets was pushed to Monday

Kangemi's bus broke down in Kapsabet, 78 kilometers to Mumboha Grounds.

The Football Kenya Federation Women’s Premier League (FKFW PL) match between Bunyore and Kangemi Ladies was postponed to Monday after the visiting team bus broke down in Kapsabet on its way to Luanda.

The bus remained out of service and could not be repaired on time for the game, which was scheduled to be played at midday, forcing the Kangemi Ladies' team to request postponement, which was granted by the league organizers on Sunday evening.

Both teams were set to play at Mumboha Grounds, but Kangemi Ladies failed to show up, leaving fans who had paid to attend the match disappointed.

The postponement gives the Kangemi’s coaching staff a few more hours to psychologically prepare the players for the match as word had spread on the internet that the match had been announced as a walkover.

“Kangemi Ladies indeed communicated with the league organizers seeking a postponement of their game against Bunyore after their bus broke down, and it will now be played at 11 am at the same venue," the source said.

Kangemi, who are already relegated from the league, will be looking to break a 14 matches winless streak.

Meanwhile, the other two matches planned for Sunday went smoothly in Nairobi at Kitale.

In the day's first game, Zetech Sparks overcame Nakuru City Queens 4-3 in an enthralling league match played at GEMS Cambridge International School.

Pulen Alukwe netted a brace for Sparks, with the other goals scored by Monalisa Achieng and Violet Achieng.

Elsewhere, Tranzoia Falcon walloped Kayole Starlets 5-1 in a match played at Ndura Sports Complex in Kitale.
