"THE PITCH IS NOT IN GOOD SHAPE" - MPONDA

Silver Strikers head coach, Peter Mponda, said the pitch at the Karonga Stadium is not in good shape but that will not be an excuse for them as they want three points on Saturday.

Mponda said this ahead of their match against Baka City on Saturday and said the rookies will be looking for maximum points but they need a win to consolidate their fine start of the season.

"We have prepared very well, we know we are playing on a bad pitch but that will not be our excuse as we want to win in this match so that we prove to ourselves that we have started well in the League." Said Mponda.

The Bankers will be playing their second away match as their first ended in a draw at Dedza Dynamos two weeks ago.

The Bankers are on top of the table with 10 points from 4 games having won three games and drawn once in the TNM Super League.
