Featuring their strong squad, which is comprised of Caroline ‘Ayuda’ Ngwira, Towera ‘Tobe’ Vinkhumbo, Jessica Sanudi, Bridget Kumwenda, Diamonds dominated all matches to the delight of their coach Griffin ‘Zagalo’ Saenda, who looked calm and relaxed in both matches.

“Iam proud of my team for their performance, and we will work hard because the battle is still on. The main focus now is on Saturday in our next game against MTL Queens,” said Saenda.

Diamonds will have a tricky assignment as they meet MTL Queens on Saturday at BYC. that is set to decide strong title contenders against Complex Tigresses.

A win will give MTL confidence that they might end a five-year title drought and it also boost chances for Tigresses from clinching their first league title in five years.

Meanwhile, Complex Tigresses coach Peace Chawinga Kalua has intesfied gym for her player’s in order to keep them physically fit.

“We have crucial fixtures, as some games have been fixed in the middle of the week. We feel by going for gym it will give our players to last for more games in a week,” she said.
