Konkola Blades have won promotion back to the FAZ Super Division just a year after suffering demotion to Division One.

Konkola secured promotion on Sunday after beating Chingola Police 1-0 at Nchanga Stadium in Chingola to open a six point lead at the top of Division One Zone Two table with one round of matches remaining in the season.

Isaac Ngoma’s lone goal on 10 minutes moved Konkola to 60 points, six above, second placed Kitwe United who drew 2-2 at Bresmar United on Sunday.

Kitwe, were the one team to beat Konkola home and away this term, can’t catch up with Sharp Razor even if they win their last match.

Both Konkola and Kitwe have played 29 matches each.

Elsewhere, third placed Roan United surrendered promotion hopes on Saturday after a 1-1 draw with visiting Copperbelt Buffaloes in Luanshya.

Roan have 53 points from 29 matches played.

Well done Konkola blades. To the executive as we consolidate the team for the next season, kindly do not disturb the current Coaching and Technical bench, we can just re enforce it. Once again, well done.
