Home girls Sliders began their Africa Cup for Club Championships title hunt on a high with a 6-3 victory over Wananchi of Uganda. Sliders were undoubtedly the stronger side but were failed by lapses in defence that saw them concede easy goals including a penalty stroke.

Rhoda Nyambura and Lorraine Nondi starred for Sliders scoring two first half goals while Sandra Namusoke also found the back of the net twice for the Ugandans. An elated Sliders Team Manager Ann Onyango said she was glad her charges had won their opening match and was hopeful they will build on that conquest. ‘’It is a positive start and I urge my players to build on that as we move forward in competition. We are taking one match at a time but as it is champions Telkom Orange remain our strongest challengers, ‘’ Onyango said.
