Reading Time: 2min | Sat. 08.01.22. | 09:28
The league is featuring 12 teams playing in a unified format, projected to conclude in June.
Three-time Kenya Women Premier League (WPL) champions Vihiga Queens are looking to extend their winning streak to four matches as they face struggling Kisumu All Starlets at Mumias Complex.
The Boniface Nyamunyamu-coached side is coming off a win against Trans Nzoia Falcons and should have no trouble dispensing off Kisumu who picked their first win in the mid-week action against winless Kangemi Ladies.

"We have prepared well and morale in camp has been good. All players are available for selection and we have the depth to handle the competition in the league. Against Kisumu, there is no room for complacency so we handle the match with the seriousness it deserves and I believe we will bag maximum points," said Nyamunyamu.
Meanwhile, Women's Cup and Super Cup champions Ulinzi Starlest who played to a barren draw against Wadadia in their last outing are looking to bounce back to winning ways as they face newbies Bunyore Starlets at Ruaraka Grounds.
While Ulinzi have not won in the last two matches, Bunyore have been on a winning streak, beating champions Thika Queens and their most recent win coming against Nakuru Queens.
On their part, Nakuru are looking to use home advantage for maximum points as they face holders Thika. The latter had a perfect response to their defeat away to Bunyore as they picked a convincing win against nemesis Gaspo Women in the Kiambu derby.
The KWPL not slowing down and we can have six more matches on the cards this weekend. Will newbies Bunyore Starlets upset Ulinzi at home? The only way to find out, is wait!

In another match, a relegation battle, although too early on to authoritatively say it is, is set to for as debutants Kangemi host Kayole at GEMS Cambridge.
Kangemi are winless in three matches having lost to Ulinzi, Wadadia and Kisumu while Kayole picked their first win in the mid-week matches in a 1-0 outcome against Zetech Sparks. The Joshua Sakwa-coached side had lost to Thika Queens and Gapso in their first two matches.
