The dream is alive, the fire is burning and the girls from Kisumu are just one match away from history. The Lakers Hockey Club has sent a strong message across the continent, that Kenya’s Lake Region giants are not here to participate, but to dominate.
After a commanding 4–1 victory over Zimbabwe’s Hippo Hockey Club, the Kisumu-based side now stares at a golden opportunity with a possible ticket to the finals of the Africa Cup for Club Championship.
Their next hurdle: Bulawayo Hockey Club, another Zimbabwean powerhouse, in a clash that promises speed, grit and heart-stopping action.
From the first whistle against Hippo, the Lakers meant business. Swift passes, high pressing and unrelenting teamwork saw them dismantle their opponents in style. Every goal told a story of precision, teamwork and a dream that began on the shores of Lake Victoria.
Now, as Saturday looms, the stakes couldn’t be higher. A win today would not only seal their spot in the finals but also etch their name among Africa’s finest.
For Kisumu, for Kenya and for women’s hockey, this is more than just a match but a moment of pride and proof of potential.
Whether it ends with gold or silver, one thing is certain – Lakers Hockey Club has already made history. Today, the roar of Kisumu’s daughters will echo across Africa.
