Demba netted nine times as Red Scorpion enjoyed a perfect start to 2003 GFA's Division One Women League season.
After a successful stint with Red Scorpion, Demba switched to Interior. She has since managed to re-establish herself as a deadly finisher.
Nicked named (Nistelrooy), Demba snatched the golden boot since her controversial switch to Interior in 3 consecutive league seasons away from her opponents, which earned her a place in the women's national team.
