ZRFU National League leaders Diggers coach Robert “Plough” Kang’ongwe believes the Kitwe side needs to put in extra effort in the remaining matches in order to maintain their lead.
Diggers have gone into the current mid-season break after opening up a two-point lead at the summit of the table.
In an interview, Kang’ongwe said Diggers are under pressure to perform well and win the league title which has eluded the club since 2007.
” It has been a trying season and the pressure is on the team to perform especially that we want to pay-back to our sponsors,” he said.
Kang’ongwe expressed happiness with his team’s display half way into this year’s campaign.
“So far we have played well, apart from the loss we suffered against Arrows (8-3),” he added.
He repeated that Diggers’ target this year is to win the league which is being defended by second placed Arrows.
“We need to work extra hard, our goal this season is to win the league. Every one here at the club has to work hard.” he said.
