The Kanjedza-based outfit has also lost reliable goalkeepers Nenani<\/p>\n
Juwaya and Ernest Kakhobwe to Be Forward Wanderers and Big Bullets respectively.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Tigers Team Manager, Sammy Ngwira,has justified their failure to play fellow Super League sides during the pre-season.<\/p>\n
Ngwira said his team has several new players, who do not need to be thrown into the deep end.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe pre-season was for our re-building exercise. We needed to see how the players can express themselves on the pitch without being under pressure to win,\u201d Ngwira explained.<\/p>\n
He said the team has so far played six friendly games against lower league and non-league teams, winning all of them.<\/p>\n
Ngwira said the team was now set to test its players against tough Super League opposition when they lock horns with Red Lions this Sunday at Kamuzu Stadium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
