On Saturday in Eldoret they faced Kick to Life. The field was less than ideal, but they made the best of the situation and jumped on the home team early with a goal from Irine Achieng. A little later Dorothy Adhiambo was fouled inside the box and Irine slotted home her 2nd goal of the day. Alicent Awuor rounded out the scoring with a screamer from outside the box. Kick to Life was very big and fast, but the Lakers defense proved strong and Lillian Awuor did a good job between the posts. The much younger Lakers held on for a 3-2 victory.
On Sunday, they were in Kakamega to play against Kakamega Muslim who had won their first match of the season in convincing fashion. The first half was played at a very high level. The Lakers created many chances, but couldn't score a goal. In the 2nd half, Kakamega scored a goal when it bounced over the goalkeeper. That bad fortune deflated the hopes of the girls and the Lakers ended up losing 3-0.
Going on the road and getting one win out of two is a good result. The Lakers are currently in 4th place out of 7 teams in the Western Zone of the league. Next Saturday (Sep 1) they will be hosting Nyuki in Mbita.
