National women’s hockey champions Telkom won their second match against Kenyan counterpart Strathmore University with a solitary goal on the second day of Africa Cup for Club Championships in Accra Ghana.
Audrey Omaido scored the lone goal on the 52 minute as 20 time national champions seek the 10th African title and defend the 2017 trophy they won on Kenyan soil.
Telkom had their lead turned down in the second quarter after Lilian Aura’s goal was disallowed for infringement on the Student’s defence.
Telkom coach Jos Openda pushed his charges for more goals but his counterpart Meshack Senge urged his side on. Sandra Adera and Marioan Akinyi come close to equalising but their efforts were thwarted by defenders Terry Juma and Flavia Mutiva with Cynthia Akinyi alert in between the posts.
Coach Senge’s Strathmore on the other hand will have to go back to the drawing board as they seek their first victory of the tournament having lost to last edition’s finalists Ghana Revenue Authority 4-0. They take on Ghana Police in their third match.
