The military-backed side finished second last season.
Ulinzi Starlets head coach Joseph Mwanza is not planning to make alterations to his squad ahead of the 2022/2023 Kenya Women Premier League (KWPL) campaign.
The military side finished second last season behind Vihiga Queens and will be out to give a go at a maiden league title when the new season starts, and the gaffer believes his players from last season can get the job done.
"We have resumed training and the girls are showing their best effort. I plan to stick to the squad that we used last season mostly because I believe in their ability and do not see the need to make much adjustments," Mwanza told Mozzart Sport.

The tactician is also welcoming a return to football normalcy in the country as he believes the Kenyan girls have already lost glorious chances to feature not only at the continental stage but also on the global stage.
He singled out the Africa Women's Cup of Nations (AWCON) as the biggest miss having in mind that it was also serving as the 2023 World Cup qualifier, with the semifinalists booking a ticket to the tournament set to be jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand.
"Already, as a country we have lost so much, the biggest one being the AWCON which would have been a very good platform for the girls. We remain hopeful that things will get back to normal and we can compete at a recognized level," he added.
