NAIROBI, Kenya, Dec 13 – Trinity Starlets extended their unbeaten run in the Football Kenya Federation Women’s Premier League with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Kayole Starlets, a result that keeps them firmly at the summit of the league standings.
Kayole Starlets struck first through in-form striker Linda Kihara, who once again demonstrated her experience and lethal finishing to open the scoring. Kihara has been a consistent threat this season, underlining her pedigree as one of the league’s most reliable forwards.

Despite Kayole’s efforts to force another equalizer, Trinity held firm to see out the match and secure all three points.
The victory preserves Trinity Starlets’ place at the top of the league and stretches their unbeaten run, providing a significant morale boost as they prepare for a demanding midweek clash against Vihiga Queens.
