Vihiga Queens will be seeking to continue their unbeaten run in the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Women’s Premier League when they face Trans Nzoia Falcons in the top of the table clash at Kenyatta Stadium in Kitale on Saturday.

The defending champions are currently top of the Zone B table standings with 13 points, one ahead of Falcons after five matches played.

Head coach Alex Alumira says they are well prepared for the tie and banks on their impressive form to bag the three points.

“We have had a good start to the league which puts us on top and I expect that to continue tomorrow (Saturday) against Falcons,” Alumira said.

In their last league match, Queens hammered Kisumu All Starlets 3-0 at Mumias Sports Complex, a lose that left the lakeside outfit third in the log with 10 points.
