Police settle for bronze in FKF Women's Cup after shooting down Zetech

Kenya Police Bullets have finished third in the FKF Women’s Cup after coming from behind to edge Zetech Sparks 4-3 in the playoff staged at the Police Sacco Grounds.

The two sides were relegated to the playoff after faltering in the semifinals of the cup.

Police were eliminated by Ulinzi Starlets following a 4-2 post-match penalties shootout loss while Zetech fell to Kibera Soccer Ladies 2-1.

Although Police failed to reach the final, they will take consolation in the fact that they clinched the league title in their first time of asking.

Police were crowned champions last month in Kisumu and will consequently, feature in the CECAFA Women Club Championship to be held in August in Ethiopia.

The triumphant team in the regional showpiece will secure ticket to the CAF Champions League.

With the league title in the bag and their focus being fully trained on the regional tournament, Police presumably went to the playoff against Zetech looking to assess their preparedness for the task ahead.
