Cecafa Women's Championship: Kenya thump Burundi to qualify for final

Kenya have qualified for the Cecafa Women's Championship final after defeating Burundi 5-0 at Azam Complex Dar es Salaam, Tanzania on Saturday.

The Harambee Starlets came into the match as favourites following a good run in Group B which saw them finish top of the standings without conceding a goal and scoring 17 in the process.

It took Burundi just 14 minutes to realise the Starlets meant business when Dorcus Nixon found the back of the net to give her charges a deserved lead.

Neither of the two sides could find another goal in the remainder of the first half owing to poor finishing and good defending from the two sides.
