Another Harambee Starlets player wins award in Tanzania

Fountain Gate Princess fans have voted Kenyan goalkeeper Monicah Chebet as their Footballer of the Year 2023.

The Harambee Starlets custodian beat her teammates to scoop the award for her incredible maiden campaign at the Tanzania Women's Premier League side.

Chebet expressed her happiness for winning the award, thanking all the fans who voted for her.

"I didn't know that I had a strong fan base until today, your love is overwhelming, and your daughter is grateful, nawapenda sana (I love you all), lots of kisses and hugs back to your fans," Chevy posted on her official Facebook page.

Fountain Gate offered fans to vote for their best player for the calendar year, with Chebet running out the clear winner among supporters.

The goalkeeper produced many memorable performances across the season and was key to Fountain Gate's third-place finish in the league.

However, she was beaten to the Fountain Gate's Best Goalkeeper of the Year by another Kenyan international, Wilfrida Seda.

Chebet joined the club in July 2022 from FKF Women Premier League (KWPL) side Wadadia Women.

She replaced Carolyne Rufa, who dumped the club for another Tanzanian side Simba Queens.

Before switching to Fountain Gate, Chebet helped Wadadia finish eighth on the log with 24 points.

She enjoyed a memorable campaign at Wadaida and was named the club's Best Goalkeeper for the 2021/2022 season with nine clean sheets from 22 matches.
