Strathmore Scorpions are the KHU Women's Premier League champions!

Strathmore University are the winners of the 2022 Kenya Hockey Union, KHU Women's Premier League title!

 The Scorpions bagged the most coveted prize in the women's hockey with two games to spare after thumping United States International University (USIU) Spartans 4-2 in a thriller at City Park, Nairobi on Saturday.

Kenyan international Grace Bwire scored all four goals as Naomi Kemunto and Beatrice Mbugua grabbed the consolation goals for the Spartans.

 The victory takes the Scorpions to 28 points, 10 points clear of second placed Lakers Hockey Club and 11-points a drift of former champions Blazers.

The huge points difference between the Scorpions and the chasing pack means, with just two games to the end of the season, means they are simply unreachable.

Strathmore have also automatically booked a spot in the 2023 Africa Club Championships.

"It's a big achievement for me as a coach and the girls also. I want to thank all the people who have supported us in one way or the other throughout the season, this victory also belongs to them," the Scorpions coach Meshack Senge told Mozzart Sport.

 In Kisumu, Lakers Hockey Club missed a last minute penalty flick as Blazers held them to a 0-0 draw at Simba Club.

 Lakers captain Alice Owiti who is also the national team’s assistant captain sent his flick attempt wide after the umpire had awarded the hosts a 58th minute penalty.

 The draw leaves the Kisumu based side second on 18 points, a point above Blazers who have two games in hand.

 With the final spot at next year’s Africa Club Games at stake, Lakers have to win their final match against DFG Wolverines on Sunday to stand a chance of finishing second.
