Kenya women’s national, the Harambee Starlets, arrived in Dar, Tanzania on Wednesday ahead of the CECAFA Women Championships starting this weekend.
The team left the country earlier this morning and will play their opener against Ethiopia on Sunday.
“We didn’t get the results we anticipated in the Olympics Qualifiers but nonetheless, the girls gave a good account of themselves and I must say I am proud of them,” said Coach David Ouma.
He added: “There are a lot of positives to be picked and it’s now time to apply the lessons learnt.”
