“We can be proud of the team. Blue Eagles are now one of the formidable sides in the country. And the cup final is not unfamiliar place for us,” said Nsakakuwona who recently led his side into a Standard Bank cup victory
“We are geared for Bullets in the finals and we promise them a total war. We are not even shaken and we know we will grab the cup,” said Nsakakuwona.
The Cops revealed their own delight dancing a jig in celebrations.
The last time the two teams met in the finals was in 1995 in the finals of Chibuku Cup, when the cops won after beating the Ndirande Township based out-fit.
