FOOTBALL No gate charges as Harambee Starlets host Cameroon in Africa Cup of Nations qualifier
Harambee Starlets aim to overturn a deficit as they face Cameroon in a vital Women's Africa Cup of Nations Qualifier with free entry for supporters.
McKinstry, who witnessed his team's 4-1 triumph over Nairobi City Stars in their previous encounter, recognized the formidable challenge posed by Homeboyz, who had also tasted victory, beating former champions Tusker FC 2-1 in their last match.
"It doesn't matter if you play here or back in Nairobi; we know that when the two teams meet, it is an incredibly physical and competitive game," McKinstry commented during a post-match interview.
"I think a one-all draw is a fair result; neither goalkeeper has made too many saves. It was not a lack of clear-cut chances; both teams fought hard. We were on top, and they had to defend,” he continued.

Kakamega Homeboyz stun defending champs Gor Mahia with gritty draw in FKF Premier League clash
Homeboyz and Gor Mahia share the spoils in a high-octane clash, with Mwinyi's strike cancelling out Omala's opener.
The Irishman did not miss the chance to highlight that many teams struggle when they come up against Homeboyz in Kakamega.
McKinstry subtly took a jab at Gor Mahia's rivals, Tusker FC, who had fallen prey to Homeboyz in their previous match on September 16.
"A point is a fair result, as many teams come to Kakamega and go home with nothing. So, that point will feel more valuable than just a point at the end of the season," he stated.
