Moyale Barracks have vowed to pin down brothers-in-arms Kamuzu Barracks (KB) in their quest to lift the Fisd Challenge Cup tomorrow at Civo Stadium in Lilongwe.
\nMoyale assistant Coach, Charles Kamanga, said the team has been undergoing intensive preparations ahead of the all- Malawi Defence Force final.
\nKamanga said the Lions of Kaning\u2019ina are itching to end their six-year cup drought and that they need the trophy more than their Lilongwe-based counterparts.
\n\u201cKamuzu Barracks won the TNM Super League last season and we did not win anything. So, we need to win this cup to make our fans happy,\u201d he said.
\nKamanga said qualifying for tomorrow\u2019s final is an indication of the team\u2019s strides in competing against the best in the country, adding that lifting the Fisd Challenge Cup would put the icing on the cake.
\nHe then commended his charges for making it to the semifinals of the Airtel Top 8 and Carlsberg cups and expressed hope that the team would perform even much better next season.
\nBut KB have also been preparing well for the final match, with the Lilongwe-based military side thumping fellow soldiers Mafco 5-2 on Wednesday in a friendly match.
\nKB Team Manager, Francis Shaba, said winning the Fisd Challenge Cup would be the right consolation after the team\u2019s failure to retain the Super League title.
\nShaba said he is aware that his team is facing a side that has done better than they have this season but stated that Moyale can be beaten.
\n\u201cWe are prepared. We will go and play our game. We appeal to soccer lovers to throng Civo Stadium and enjoy the match. I can assure them that we have players who will entertain them on the day,\u201d he said.
\nKB got the better of Moyale in 2013 during the final of the Carlsberg Cup at Mzuzu Stadium and will be hoping to do a double on their fellow soldiers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
