Defending champions Butali Warriors finished the first leg of the Kenya Hockey Union (KHU) men’s Premier League on top of the table after edging out Wazalendo 6-2 in an eight-goal thriller at City Stadium, over the weekend.

Moses Odhiambo and Amos Barkibir were on target for the Sugar millers in the 15th and 16th minutes respectively as Butali took a 2-0 lead before Joseph Kasua grabbed a brace for Wazalendo to level the scores.
