Nyasa Big Bullets\u2019 second choice goalkeeper, Chimwemwe Kumkwawa, is still rated highly despite playing second fiddle to Ernest Kakhobwe, who is injured.<\/p>\n
Bullets\u2019 Team Manager, Rahim Ishmael, commented about Kumkwawa after he had mixed fortunes in a Fisd Challenge Cup game against Premier Bet Wizards at Kamuzu Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Bullets won the game 5-4 on post-match penalties.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, he has not been playing for some time but we still have faith in him. When we travelled, he had a clean sheet in two games in Mzuzu,\u201d Ishmael said.<\/p>\n
The game ended two-all in regulation time in which Kumkwawa struggled between the sticks.<\/p>\n
Kumkwawa turned from villain to hero when he stopped three penalties to inspire the People\u2019s Team to victory.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was good for him to save three penalties and this proves that we have good goalkeepers,\u201d Ishmael added.<\/p>\n
Kumkwawa said he believes in his skill and he would fight to play regularly.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery player desires to play regularly. It is the only way that helps one to gain confidence and improve performance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Kumkwawa was voted Bullets\u2019 goalkeeper of-the season during the team\u2019s gala on December 31 last year.<\/p>\n
However, at the start of the season, Kumkwawa was demoted to third choice behind Kakhobwe and Owen Chaima, who eventually left for Tanzania.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
