While league action rolled on elsewhere, it was a quiet weekend on the pitch for FCB Nyasa Big Bullets—with eight of our own flying the national flag during Malawi’s 61st Independence Day clash against Botswana.
Now, with international duty behind us and fresh energy in the camp, The People’s Team is back to work and fully locked in on the next mission: an away test against Civil in the capital this Saturday.
Civil Away: Eyes on Maximum Points
This weekend, the red wave rolls into the capital. Bullets head to Lilongwe for a TNM Super League clash against Civil Service United at Civo Stadium. Kick-off is set for 14:30 CAT on Saturday, 12 July.
Peter Mponda’s men remain at the summit of the standings with 27 points from 10 games, just one point ahead of second-placed Mighty Wanderers. Civil, meanwhile, are currently 14th in the 16-team table, sitting in the relegation zone with just 10 points from their 10 matches.
For Bullets, the mission is clear: keep the pressure on the chasing pack, protect the lead at the top, and return from the capital with maximum points. With momentum from the 1-0 away win over Ekhaya before the break, the team is fired up and focused.
Thursday Presser: Mponda Speaks
The countdown to Saturday begins in earnest on Thursday, when head coach Peter Mponda returns to the mic for his regular pre-match press conference.
He’ll provide the latest on team news and preparations, share his outlook on the upcoming clash with Civil, and reflect on how the international break has shaped the squad.
Women’s Team Staying Ready
While the senior men’s team gets back into match mode, Maggie Chombo and her squad continue putting in the work behind the scenes. The wait continues for the green light on the start of the new National Bank Women’s Football League—and for confirmation of our opening opponent.
The excitement is building within the camp, and the women’s side is raring to make a bold statement when the inaugural campaign kicks off.
Reserves Eyeing SRFL Return
Over in the ThumbsUp Southern Region Football League, Bullets Reserves are preparing to bounce back after a brief break due to SRFA FDH Bank Cup preliminary action.
Heston Munthali’s boys may have drawn 1-1 with The Boyz in their last fixture, but they remain top of the table with 23 points from 10 games—two ahead of Ekhaya Reserves, who still have a game in hand. The focus now is on Matchweek 10, with the next opponent yet to be confirmed.
The mission is clear: stay sharp, stay top.
Under-19s on Standby
The future of Bullets continues to train with purpose, as the Under-19s await kickoff confirmation for the 2025 FCB U-19 Katswiri League. There’s no official start date just yet, but the hunger to return to competitive football is strong among our young Maule.
One Club. One Mission.
With all teams back in rhythm, it’s a week of purpose, preparation, and pushing forward. From the first team’s title chase to the dreams brewing in the reserves and youth ranks, Bullets are back to business—and ready for the next chapter.
Stay tuned across all platforms for full coverage, match previews, and the latest from every corner of The People’s Team.
