Reigning Kenya Hockey Union (KHU) Women’s Premier League champions Kisumu Lakers will have everything to play for as they hunt their first win and maximum points this weekend at Kisumu Day High School.
Lakers, who are also the African club champions, will be on a mission to get their title defence campaign on the right track, having dropped two points in their season opener against home rivals Kisumu Queens. They will today face off with former league winners Strathmore University Scorpions, who are also determined to not only secure their first win but also steady their ship.
Scorpions, who had a tough start, are second from the wrong end of the table and will be looking to return to winning ways in a bid to salvage this season’s campaign. They have one point out of the possible nine, with their best result so far being a goalless draw against United States International University of Africa (USIU-A) Spartans. They suffered a shocking 1-2 defeat to Premier League returnees University of Nairobi (UoN) Vigilantes and another 1-3 to bitter rivals Blazers Hockey Club.
