Lions and Brothers in Nemakonde final

 

News in brief  Date: 23 June 2017

 

The Tshifudi Stadium will be a hive of activity tomorrow. That is where the much-awaited final for the Boy Nemakonde Soccer Tournament will be staged.

Munangwe United Brothers and Tshaulu Hungry Lions will meet in the final. Munangwe United Brothers beat Buluni Happy Boys 4-3 in their quarterfinal and Lukalo Hotspurs 4-2 in the semifinal stage.

Hungry Lions’ way to the final went via Mushiru Going Tigers, whom they beat 2-1 in their opening match last Saturday. Their semifinal match was against Madandila Happy Boys, whom they beat 2-1 the following day.

Tomorrow’s programme will commence with a losers’ final match between Lukalo Hotspurs and Madandila Happy Boys, starting at 09:00.

United Brothers must keep a close eye on the Spurs’ troublemakers, Shonisani Mapholi and Maluta Munyai, or else they will not know what will have eaten them at the end of the game.

The final is expected to start at 14:30. This year’s champions will take home a cash prize of R10 000, soccer kit, gold medals, a floating trophy, 11 pairs of soccer boots and six soccer balls.

The runners-up will receive R1 500, soccer kit and six soccer balls. The third-placed side will take home a cash prize of R1 500 and six soccer balls.
