Ladies’ champions will walk away K40,000 richer with runners-up and the third-placed side pocketing K25,000 and K15,000 respectively.
Dam general secretary Joe Zangazanga said in an interview during the week that everything is well set for the finals.
He thanked the Malawi government through Sports Council for considering Dam again during the 2011/12 Presidential Initiative on Sports (PIS) programme.
Last year Darts Association failed to host national finals for the Dam Cup in the northern region due to the problem of fuel scarcity experienced in the country within the past twenty four months.
