Konkola Blades Seek to End 13 Year Cup Draught

Share

Konkola Blades seek their first cup honor in 13 years when they face embattled Power Dynamos on Saturday in the Barclays Cup final at Arthur Davies Stadium.

The Chililabombwe side has not won a single cup since 1998 when they beat Zanaco 2-1 to lift the Mosi Cup.

Victory this weekend would cap what has been a very productive season by their own standards that saw them finish third on the table.

However, the low point of that and ahead of game this weekend has been the tragic passing of assistant coach Charles Mwila.

Mwila died last week from injuries he sustained in a mine accident at Konkola Mine where he worked on November 9.

Blades assistant coach Manfred Chabinga says victory on Saturday against Power will be dedicated to Mwila.

Chabinga is standing in for Keagan Mumba who is away with the Zambia Under-20 team at the Cosafa Youth Championship in Botswana.

Meanwhile, hosts and 2009 Barclays Cup champions are gunning for a double after lifting the league this season.

However, their come into this game a divided house on the bench.

Technical advisor Fordson Kabole has openly declared that him and not coach Boston Chambeshi was the architect of Powers league triumph this season
Chambeshi said he will be on the bench as usual this weekend together with Kabole.

We shall see how the two celebrate should Power complete their double.
