Was that a 1000 kwacha for the Man of Match award??? Congrats ZESCO, get serious with power though!!
That’s good work guys.
Such little prize money!
Loadshed loadshed every day! can’t you guys use another pun. Are you this clichéd in creativity? Its boring
Watching the match on supersport iam compelled to ask do you guys take football seriously? If you do you will have realised both the Ndola and Lusaka stadia need full time greenskeepers
The pitches need someone to tend them. If possible get a graduate from NRDC or Forestry in CB. The playing field is not something you look after as an after thought. Its the most important part of the game so a full-time greenskeeper is a must. The heroes pitch was pathetic
The Lusaka pitch was a pure cabbage patch
