BT Utd ask players to choose between BB and Silver

Victor Limbani may struck a priceless goal for Big Bullets that won them the Bantley Ballpoint and Exercise Books Bonanza against Red Lions on Saturday, but now that the euphoria has died down, the blossoming midfielder finds himself in a tight situation of choosing between Bullets and Silver Strikers.

Limbani swung up field to plant home a well-curled free kick from Bashir Maunde in the 62nd minute, which was enough to earn Bullets K1.5 million winner’s prize and a trophy whereas the Zomba-based soldiers got K500 000.

However, Blantyre United technical director Lawson Nakoma yesterday said Limbani and Tizgowere Kumwenda will now have to choose between Bullets and the Bankers following the expiry of their loan deal.

“Although they continue to feature both players, they were supposed to revert to us and we gave Bullets up to February 1 to state their position on the two players, which they did not until yesterday [Monday February 2] when they wrote a letter in which they have made some proposals.

“But then Silver have also approached us officially expressing interest in both players and the players will have to choose which team they want to join. We are meeting this afternoon to discuss the proposals from Bullets and Silver, and depending on the outcome, we will advise the players accordingly.

“But the final decision will have to be made by the players themselves,” said Nakoma.

Bullets already registered the two players for the CAF Champions League, but Nakoma warned that failure to cooperate on the matter would lead to United asking CAF to deregister both players.
