CHITIPA THANKS KARONGA FOR JOINT FORCES

Chitipa United head coach, Christopher Nyambose, has thanked his fellow Northern region team, Karonga United, for fighting for them in order to stay and said that has shown that they are one.

He said this after the team's 1-3 win over Baka City on the final day at the Karonga Stadium while Karonga United escaped a defeat in Mulanje when FOMO missed an 82nd minute penalty kick to play a 0-0 draw in favour of the Basongo.

Speaking after the game, Nyambose said it could have been a mockery if his team was relegated in the League and has remembered to thank Karonga United for fighting for them.

"We were afraid not because of Baka City but because other teams were playing at their home ground so the result in Mulanje has saved us, we thank Karonga United for the result, they have really shown that we are one." Said Nyambose.

Chitipa United have finished the league with 29 points from 30 points holding a better goal difference than FOMO FC while B

KAFOTEKA DEFENDS AMINI AFTER PENALTY MISS

FOMO FC has been relegated from the TNM Super League after failing to pick a win at home in a goalless draw against Karonga United at the Mulanje Park Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The team needed nothing but a win in order to stay in the elite League but their midfielder, Afana Amin, missed a late penalty kick that could have won the game for FOMO.

However, Elvis Kafoteka, has pointed at the team's senior players who deny the responsibility of penalties as the main reason why Amino took the penalty.

"I think the best way was to have a senior team taking the penalty but most of them run away when it comes to this so he [Amini] went because of that but overall we did not play well." Said Kafoteka.

The team has finished their games with 29 points just as Chitipa United which holds a better goal difference helping them to stay in the League.

"WE WANT TO FINISH ON HIGH" - MPONDA

Silver Strikers head coach, Peter Mponda, has described their final game against Premier Bet Dedza Dynamos as most important as they target to finish on a high note despite winning the League already.

He said this on Friday ahead of the match at the Silver Stadium on Saturday which he said his team needs to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat against FOMO last Wednesday to end on a high.

"It is an important game to us, of course we concluded the league last week but we need to finish on high and also see how the players are because we lost in Mulanje because they were relaxed so we need to see them now." Said Mponda.

NYAMBOSE ASKS FANS TO STOP BOOING PLAYERS

Chitipa United head coach, Christopher Nyambose, says his team's poor performance in some matches in their home matches is sometimes due to booing of fans on players which gives them pressure when playing.

He said this on Wednesday after the game which they beat Moyale Barracks 2-0 to stay in contention for the survival of the League this season.

He said his team's did not play well in the first half of the game because their supporters were booing them and because most of them are youngsters, they fail to withstand the pressure.

He said, "I think it is not good for fans to be booing the players, they need to encourage the players and not to boo them so today at least better but on Sunday we ask them to stop that."

The Basongo are 15th on the table with ,25 points, two points behind 13th placed FOMO FC and have played 29 matches.
