All roads lead to Ngong road for the Women’s Kenya Cup semis

Women’s Kenya Cup semis get underway this Saturday with the top four teams at the conclusion of the regular season clashing for a place in the final.

Defending champions Mwamba who finished in second place in the regular season take on debutants Western Spears at Impala Grounds from 2pm as they look to book a place in the final for a chance to defend the title.

In the second semifinal set to be hosted at the same venue from 4pm, (the fixture initially had the Mwamba match at RFUEA Grounds) hosts Impala Roans are up against Northern Suburbs in a match the hosts go into as favourites too.

Mwamba’s path to another title is not straight as they finished second in the regular season, six points adrift of Impala who inflicted the sole defeat to the black shirts.

Western Spears, in their maiden season in the Women’s Kenya Cup, set up the date with Mwamba by virtue of a third-place finish in the regular season with three wins and three losses in their six outings.

Impala have been perfect throughout the campaign, winning all their six matches. They have set their sights on lifting the title that they missed out on last season when they fell to Mwamba in the title decider.

Northern Suburbs made it to the semis after a fourth-place regular season and will be out to cause an upset by defeating Impala to storm the final.
