Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Women’s Premier League defending champions Vihiga Queens will face off against rivals Thika Queens in the finals of the league.

Both teams finished the season unbeaten but it was Thika Queens who caught the eye of fans after finishing the season with a 100 percent win record.

In Zone A, Thika Queens wrapped up a perfect season with a 5-0 win over relegated Mathare United Women in a one sided match played over the weekend on June 12 at Camp Toyoyo in Nairobi.

Harambee Starlets star striker Mwanahalima Adam scored a hat-trick in addition to Catherine Githae and Nuru Hadima goals to inspire the Thika based club to their 14th win of the season.

Thika finished top of Zone A standings with 42 points, 13 points ahead of second placed Gaspo Women who ended the season with a draw after being held to a 3-3draw by Makolanders.
