What you need to know:

  • Kenya aka the Blades were upset 1-0 by minnows Nigeria in one of the semi-final matches played at the University of Pretoria in South Africa
  • Johnson Benedicta’s short penalty corner in the third minute was all Nigeria needed to eliminate Kenya who will blame themselves for squandering 11 penalty corners that came their way
  • Senge said they had everything going on for them and did everything but failed to score when it mattered the most

Kenya women’s coach Meshack Senge was unable to explain why his side came up short after they failed to convert 11 penalty corners that came their way to end up missing out on a place in the final of the African Hockey Road to 2024 Olympics on Friday.
