National hockey champions Telkom Orange made it pretty obvious why they are the top-ranked team in Kenya hockey when they brutally demolished Daystar University 22-0 in the Kenya Hockey Union (KHU) League match on Sunday. The win also set up a national record in the KHU competitions. In less than half an hour from the start of the match, the Orange players were all at sea with the scores reading 10-0.
Caroline Guchu who scored six goals in the rout was the first to score, with an unbelievable goal from a reverse-stick strike before Glenis Namasake scored the second and third goal respectively. Barbra Simiyu who also had a good time in front of the goal with four goals then struck two more goals for Orange to make it 7-0 followed by Luke Guchu’s successful conversion of a penalty corner.
The crowd, nevertheless, gave its determined backing to the students who are making debut in the league, and roared whenever they got the ball and attacked their opponents. But unfortunately, Daystar was unable to get close to the goal. Guchu, scored his fourth in the second half before Jacky Mwangi, Betty Tioni and Margaret Rotich got their names on the score-sheet. Namasake scored his third in the dying minutes of the match as the Athi River based students encountered the most memorable outing in their hockey careers.
