Nomads date Mangochi Select
In a bid to keep players fit, Be Forward Wanderers will date Mangochi Select at Mangochi Stadium on Sunday.
The Lali Lubani side has been exempted from football matches, having contributed eight players to the national team for the 2018 Cosafa tournament currently underway in Polokwane, South Africa.
Wanderers general secretary Mike Butao confirmed the development, saying they settled for Mangochi Select because it was convenient for the Nomads.
“It is a fundraising match organised by Mangochi Secondary School Alumni Association, but for us it is very important to keep our players fit as eight of our other players are with the national team,” he said.
“This is the reason we played Lake Valley last week and we beat them 6-4.”
He also disclosed that they settled for Mangochi Select because all the other Super League teams were engaged. Butao also said no ground was free apart from Mangochi Stadium.
Mangochi Secondary School (Masescho) Alumni Association spokesperson Rashid Amadu Mapila said they took advantage of Wanderers’ inactivity to engage them in a fundraising match.
“It is a fundraising game for Masescho. The proceeds will go to several projects being undertaken by the alumni at the school such as [improving] the sanitation system, constructing a security fence and a girls hostel,” he said. n
