Ahead of the knock out stage Tanzania’s forward striker Opa Clement Tukumbuke currently leads the top scorers chart at the on-going CECAFA Senior Women’s Championship 2002 at the FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru, Uganda.

Tukumbuke netted one goal in Twiga Star’s 2-2 draw against Ethiopia and four goals in their last Group B match that they won 12-0 against  Zanzibar.

“I am hungry to score as many goals to help my team win this trophy,” says Tukumbuke who plies her trade with Kayseri Kadin FK in Turkey.
