90 minutes separate Kenya ladies, the Harambee Starlets from a historic qualification for the first time ever for the Women’s Nations Cup when they face Algeria in the second leg of the qualifiers on Tuesday 12 at Moi Sports Centre Kasarani.

Starlets registered a morale boosting 2-2 away draw in Algeria on Friday 8 making a lighter load of tomorrow’s reverse tie in which a simple draw of 0-0 or 1-1 will see them through.

A head of the crunch tie, Coach David Ouma has named his best eleven to fly the national flag.

Samantha Akinyi will stick in goal, and she will be covered by Elizabeth Ambogo, Wendy Achieng, Irene Awuor and Nixon Sikobe in defence.

The middle of the pack will be dictated by Mithuka Karimi, and assisted by Nigeria based Nedy Atieno, Carolyne Anyango and Tabaka Chacha.

Young sensation Jereko Mwanalima Adam who scored the second goal for the Starlets in Algeria will lead the goal hunt.

The match will kick off at 3PM Kenya time and entry will be absolutely FREE!
