Assistant coach for Bullets Women, Charles Lubani, said he was happy with the win and a sweet revenge as they were also beaten in the first round away in Lilongwe.
''It's a game which we wanted to win most and we are happy that we have managed to get it, we have been doing well in this second round because we want to finish on high and this win means a lot to us,'' said Lubani.
On his part, Ascent Academy head coach Thom Nkolongo was not satisfied with officiation saying that his team was not protected by the referee from Bullets' rough play.
''We have many injuries in our camp hence maybe struggling to have other massive option and today we have had other injuries where the referee didn't even award a foul or a card so it is the unfortunate part of it,'' said Nkolongo.
The win took the people's team up to 25 points from 7 wins, four draws and three defeats in the League while Ascent Academy remain second in the League with 29 points from 9 wins, two draws and three defeats in the League.
