Kisumu Lakers dare USIU Spartans as KHU Premier League gathers momentum

Stacy Chentry in action for Lakers.[Washington Onyango,Standard]

Lakers began the season with a 1-1 draw against defending champions Strathmore University Scorpions before thumping newbies Kenyatta University (KU) Titans 6-1 away in Nairobi.

Two weeks ago, Lakers ended their four match winless run against the Blazers by beating the visitors 1-0. Maureen Achieng was the heroine of the day with her lone goal of the game breaking Blazers jinx.

After three matches, Lakers are fourth on the table with seven points, four points behind defending champions Strathmore University who have played three more games than Lakers.

If Lakers win all their games in hand, they will move top. Tomorrow, Blazers will face USIU Spartans. They are second with nine points after four games (win three and one defeat).

On the other hand, the university students are fifth with four points after picking a win and a draw.
