Sliders women’s hockey club whitewashed Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) 7-0 in a league match played yesterday at City Park Stadium.

In spite of the impressive scoreline, Sliders Coach Nixon Nyangaga was not totally convinced with his charges whom he said were not at their best.

“We controlled the match well but the girls need to work on their confidence and finishing. I have a full squad now and we aim to improve in our subsequent matches,” Nyangaga said.

JKUAT struggled to create any chances in the first half as Sliders closed them down limiting their movement every time they attempted to launch an attack on their territory.
