Telkom and Kenya police are this season’s Kenya Hockey Union men and women Hockey Premier League titles respectively over the weekend.
Telkom won 6-0 against Multimedia University at City Park to bag their 20th title without a defeat and with two matches to spare.
Jacky Mwangi was on target four times as her race to winning the golden stick remained on course. Mwangi netted in the 21, 23, 33 and 37th minutes to complete as Audrey Omaido and Jane Ofula added a strike each in the 30 and 60th minutes respectively.
Telkom head coach, Jos Openda says his focus is on the forthcoming Africa Club Championships to be held in Ghana. Openda said his side is prepared for the task ahead and mostly importantly, to defend their crown.
“It’s good we have won the league although our mission to finish the league without conceding a goal was not achieved. We now shift our focus to the club championships where we are going to defend our title. The girls are ready and soon our final traveling squad will be out,” said Openda.
On the other side, Kenya Police were crowned the new champions on Saturday following a 6-1 win humiliating of Kenyatta University Vultures. Police head coach, Kenneth Kaunda, said: “We are happy to be crowned new champions although we wanted to win it without losing a single game.”
Police recaptured the title from Strathmore University Gladiators.
In other matches played yesterday, Butali Warriors beat Kenyatta University 3-0 while Vikings played Kenyatta University to a barren draw in the ladies tie.
