Former DD Sunshine attacker Tabitha Chawinga is on course to win a golden boot award in Sweden when she struck a hat-trick in a 3-0 victory over Kungsbacka DFF on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Chawinga is the current leading goal scorer with 24 goals in the Elitettan League, eight ahead of second-placed Mia Jalkerud of Djurgardens.<\/p>\n
It was her (Chawinga) first hat trick of the season but she has already scored a quintet of goals and several braces this season.<\/p>\n
She hammered two goals in the first half before completing her hat-trick in the second half.<\/p>\n
Kvarnvedens are still at the top of the log table with 41points from 16 games, eight ahead of second-placed Djurgardens, who dropped points after they were held to a one-all draw on the same day.<\/p>\n
However, Durgardens have played 15 games in the league.<\/p>\n
If Kvarnsvedens win the Swedish second-tier league, DD Sushine, Chawinga\u2019s former employers will receive $2000 (about K900,000) bonus.<\/p>\n
DD Sunshine di r e c tor David Dube heaped praise on Chawinga, saying her perfomance in Sweden would be a window of opportunity for Malawian footballers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think she has proved everyone that Malawi has talented women footballers, who can shine on the international scene,\u201d said Dube yesterday.<\/p>\n
Last season, Chawinga finished as the top goal scorer with 38 goals while playing for Swedish third-tier side Krokom\/ Dvasartts.<\/p>\n
This season, Chawinga has set herself 40-goal target to win the Golden Boot Award in Sweden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
