Published on October 25, 2019, the Women's Premier League is set to mark its 28th round of matches this weekend, with Spedag facing a desperate fight to avoid relegation.

Spedag, who have lost 20 matches so far, are in a precarious position, with their fate all but sealed and likely to drop to Division One at the end of the season.

However, Serah Ogonyo's charges will have to be at their best in their last two matches to have any chance of leapfrogging Nyuki Starlets and Kayole Starlets, both on 14 points and in positions 13 and 14 respectively.

But even winning their remaining two matches may not be enough for Spedag, as they will hope that Kayole Starlets lose their two remaining fixtures against Wadadia and Thika Queens.

Thika Queens, who won the league title in 2015, are currently ranked position four in the standings, four points short of third-placed Trans Nzoia Falcons.

Thika Queens assistant coach Sunil Shah said facing Spedag was a direct ticket to them moving up the standings.

“This is one of those matches that we can play in our sleep but we will still play cautiously because our aim is to finish in top three. The team trained well and ready to win,” said Shah.
