Joan Andika, Ann Nakafeero and Dorcus Kagabane scored a goal to give Weatherhead Gazelles a 3-0 win over an inexperienced Deliverance Church side on Saturday in the Women's national hockey league at Lugogo hockey ground.

Weatherhead are targeting to dethrone Wananchi who lifted the trophy last year and a win at the weekend presented a huge boost to their ambitions.

Deliverance Church coach William Okecha said his side were beaten of lack of experience, adding that he is just grooming the team.

"We were an inexperienced side and they were better on us, but that is for today. We are building a strong side that will be a threat next year."

Meanwhile, in the men's category, defending champions Wananchi continued their winning form with a 5-0 whipping of Weatherhead at Lugogo.

National league action continues Sunday  and next weekend with the Weatherhead Open tournament at the same venue.
