In as far as playing Moyale Barracks this season is concerned, Be Forward Wanderers cannot just avoid the wounded soldiers.<\/p>\n
After beating Moyale in the TNM Super League first-round, semi-finals of Airtel Top 8 Cup and Carlsberg Cup, Moyale stand in the way of the Nomads again.<\/p>\n
This time around, Wanderers will start their Fisd Challenge Cup title defence with a tricky away first-round match to Moyale in Mzuzu.<\/p>\n
This follows a draw held at Mpira Village, Chiwembe Township, in Blantyre Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The draw pitted 57 teams from district Presidential Cup champions to top-four Premier Division teams from each region against each other.<\/p>\n
The draw for regional and district teams also took place Wednesday.<\/p>\n
But anxiety gripped the room at Mpira Village when draw master, Casper Jangale, announced that it was the turn of Super League teams to be paired.<\/p>\n
In other fixtures, Civo Sporting Club were paired against Azam Tigers FC with Red Lions set to face Masters Security FC.<\/p>\n
Speaking after the draw, Wanderers Team Manager, Steve Madeira, admitted that they face an uphill task against Moyale.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have no choice because this is how the draw has been conducted. We have beaten them thrice and I know they are still feeling pain. They will seek revenge but, as champions, we are ready to defend the cup,\u201d Madeira said.<\/p>\n
However, Moyale Barracks Assistant Coach, Charles Kamanga, believes it is their turn to defeat Wanderers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have welcomed the draw. We all know where we are coming from. We just need to do our home-work and win this time around,\u201d Kamanga said.<\/p>\n
Another tricky fixture involves Silver Strikers and Mafco whereas Nyasa Bullets FC date Dwangwa United.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Football Association of Malawi Competitions Committee Vice- Chairperson, Daud Ntanthiko, has said the launch-match of the cup would be between All Stars from Lilongwe and Sikiza FC from Nkhotakota. The launch is scheduled for Saturday in Dwangwa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
