Silver fully into title race as title defence looks possible

Silver Strikers has cut their gap onto the top two to just three points with 13 games left in the TNM Super League making the title defence possible after beating Chitipa United 1-0 at the Silver Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.

The Bankers scored through Chinsisi Maonga on the 29th minute to seal the win and stay within touching distance on to FCB Nyasa Big Bullets and Mighty Wanderers.

Head coach for the Bankers, Peter Mgangira, said his team did not play the way they use to but it is good that they have won and will keep pushing for more.

"The league is now tight indeed but we will make sure to collect more points when playing at home, it will be tough but it is possible to defend the League." Said Mgangira.

The victory took the Bankers up to 36 points from 10 wins, 6 draws and one loss to stay just four points behind leaders FCB Nyasa Big Bullets and three behind Mighty Wanderers.

Waka swallows three goals in two games as Ekhaya struggle in second round

Ekhaya FC suffered their second defeat in the second round of the TNM Super League as their K10 million worthy goalkeeper, Joshua Waka, conceded yet another goal in a 1-0 defeat over Civil Service United at the Civo Stadium on Wednesday.

Dastan Banda's first half strike was enough for the Civil servants to claim a win and teach the Cowboys about the heat of the second round as they also lost 2-1 to Mzuzu City Hammers at home last weekend.

Head coach for the team, Enos Chatama, said his team lost due to a defensive error in the game but knows they will bounce back stronger.

"We have lost two games now but we have good players and we are building a good team because this season is for us to survive while making a good team so we will sit down and look at what has went wrong." Said Chatama.

The team has dropped down to 6th on the log table with 26 points from 17 games in the League.
