Bomac FC crowned Blantyre U-14 league champions

“The competition was very tough especially in the second round as compared to first round and it wasn’t that easy to collect maximum even from those teams which were on bottom. This is encouraging both to me and the players and I will try to keep this team together for the coming years because they are all promising stars who will play in
big clubs in the future,” said Kazembe.

We are planning to introduce U-15 league come next season so that there should be a continuity of players but we’ll
