Defending champions Kenya Police Bullets returned to winning form Sunday with a commanding 6-0 victory over Kakamega-based Wadadia Women at Mumias Sports Complex in the Football Kenya Federation Women's Premier League (FKF-WPL).
Under the guidance of coach Beldine Odemba, Bullets made adjustments to their backline, with Leah Andiema and Mary Nthambi starting, while Norah Ann began on the bench. Midfield dynamo Lydia Akoth was unavailable due to illness.
Diana Wacera opened the scoring in the 18th minute, followed by Lydia Waganda in the 27th minute, establishing early dominance for the Bullets. New signing Emily Morang’a came on in the second half, replacing midfielder Mercy Masika, and made her mark by scoring in the 58th minute.
Prolific striker Rebecca Okwaro continued her impressive season, finding the net twice in the 62nd and 73rd minutes, bringing her tally to six goals in as many matches, making her the league's top scorer.
The rout was capped by defender Elizabeth Ochaka, who netted her first FKF-WPL goal in the 80th minute since joining the team this season.
