Victory was in the offing for Mombasa Olympic who whitewashed Fortune Ladies 10-0 in the first semifinals as opposed to Coast Ladies who stunned Kipevu Ladies 4-1 in the other semis.

Besides winners and runners up trophies awarded to Mombasa Olympic and Coast Ladies respectively, all teams that took part in the tournament were fully kitted by the Civil Society Organization of Muslim For Human Rights MUHURI who were the sponsors.
