ESPODEC Starlets secured a crucial point of their rivals UOE Queens in their opening FKF Upper Rift Women’s Regional League opening match played over the weekend.
Despite the match ending in a barren draw, the Langas-based side were happy with the results having played a huge part of the game one player less. This is after their goalkeeper was shown a red card in the 48th minute.
The draw leaves ESPODEC Starlets 6th on the table having played only one game while UOE Queens are second with 4 points. They have already played three games.
In other results for matches played over the weekend, Joyland Starlets beat Ndabarnach Queens 2-0 while Kiplaren Starlets walloped City Angels 10-0 in front of their home fans at Bishop Delaney Memorial.
League leaders Santa Queens secured their second win in a row after silencing Maroon Queens 2-0 in a game played at Cheptongei Grounds.

Third on the log are Kipkaren Starlets followed by Highland Royals and Joyland Starlets all at three points after one game each.
