Sharon Mwendwa scored a hat-trick to help Engineering Brigade defeat Sixth Brigade 4-1 as the Chief of Defence Forces Women’s Football Cup entered its second day at the 3-Kenya Rifles Grounds in Lanet yesterday.

Mwendwa drew first blood in the 18th minute before Christine Kadogo levelled for the losers eight minutes later for a 1-1 halftime score.

In the second half, Engineering Brigade dominated their opponents from the onset and it did not come as a surprise when Mwendwa notched the second goal in the 54th minute and thereafter converted a penalty after a Sixth Brigade defender handled the ball in the box.

Pauline Mutisya finished the scoring spree with an 82nd minute hard drive.

Earlier, Kahawa Garrison hammered Kenya Navy 7-1, thanks to goals by Patricia Khamasi (2), Lucy Mukwana (3), Riziki Fondo and Lillian Shamalla, while Shufaa Salim scored the consolation goal for the losers.

On Monday, Kahawa Garrison went on a goal-scoring spree after they hammered Sixth Brigade 13-0 in the Pool A round robin matches. [Ben Ahenda]
