The league\u2019s General Secretary, Annie Hanjahanja, said they would like to register 10 teams.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll stakeholders agreed that we should have 10 teams to balance up the league. So far we have nine teams of which six were in action during the opening weekend,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
White Eagles and Chitakale Sisters have since expressed interest in joining the league.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe slot is open to any team that will register quickly. Any team that acts fast will be registered,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
