TNM Super League champions, Kamuzu Barracks and last season\u2019s runners\u2013up, Nyasa Big Bullets, have intensified their preparations ahead of the new season slated for April.<\/p>\n
The soldiers and Bullets were expected to regroup on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
KB\u2019s Team Manager, Francis Shaba, said they would start the pre-season by conducting trials to identify three players to beef up the squad.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to beef up the squad with a defender, midfielder and a striker. It would also be important to have a tall goalkeeper like Leman Nthala,\u201d Shaba said.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Bullets regrouped yesterday at Kamuzu Stadium and Head Coach Nsanzurwimo Ramadhan said the first training session was all about getting players physically fit.<\/p>\n
Ramadhan said he would ensure that the team gels before the start of the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a good training session. We were supposed to start training on Monday, but we failed due to other logistical challenges. Being the first day, I am so happy. The players have shown that they want to achieve a lot in 2017,\u201d Ramadhan said.<\/p>\n
Mean while, Blue Eagles and Be Forward Wanderers have also announced that their preparations will start today.<\/p>\n
Eagles\u2019 General Manager, Gabriel Chirwa, said they would start training with new players only.<\/p>\n
Blantyre United were the first to resume training a fortnight ago at Escom Ground in Blantyre.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Epac General Secretary, Chiyamiko Lita, has said the team was expected to start training yesterday.<\/p>\n
Red Lions, Premier Bet Wizards and Tigers will regroup next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
