FCB Nyasa Big Bullets enjoyed another eventful weekend across the club’s Women’s, Reserves, and U19 teams, while the First Team paused domestic action due to the ongoing FIFA Men’s International Break.
Here’s everything that happened around the Bullets family.
First Team: Quartet Feature as Flames Face Lesotho
The senior side had the weekend off as Malawi continued their international programme with a pair of friendly matches against Lesotho in Bloemfontein, South Africa.
The Flames were held to a 0-0 draw on Saturday at Toyota Stadium, with the second match scheduled for Tuesday at the same venue.
Four Bullets players are part of the national squad during this window. Babatunde Adepoju and Yankho Singo both started the match, Chikumbutso Salima came off the bench to replace captain Gabadinho Mhango in the second half, while Blessings Mpokera — returning to the national setup — was an unused substitute.
This window offers the quartet a valuable opportunity to gain international minutes and return sharper for the domestic campaign.

Reserves Maintain Fourth Spot in the SRFL
The Reserves continue to show consistency in the ThumbsUp Southern Region Football League, sitting fourth with 41 points from 23 matches following a recent 0-0 draw with Thondwe FC.
