On December 1, 2019, the Kenya Hockey Union women's Premier League came to a close with Blazes crowned women's champions and Butali Sugar men's champions.

However, Kenyatta University and Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology women's teams finished at the bottom of the league, with JKUAT managing five points and KU collecting six points.

According to the league standings, JKUAT won one match and drew two, while KU won one match and drew three.

Despite their relegation, the teams will compete in the lower-tier league next season.

Blazes' dominance in the women's league was also highlighted by the top scorers, with Gilly Okumu and Jackline Mwangi emerging joint top scorers with eight goals each.

Chris Wokila, the top scorer with 13 goals, has called on teams to up their game next season to break the monotony of one team winning the title year in, year out.

Wokila, who plays for Greensharks, said, 'I won't be leaving Sharks any time soon. Maybe I will do so in future, having won the title with them. I'm grateful for the award but it's not my own doing but the team's effort.'
