First Team

The midfielder was introduced at half-time and broke the deadlock in the 83rd minute to earn Wedson Nyirenda’s men all three points.
The result took Bullets to 39 points from 18 matches, three clear of Mighty Wanderers at the top of the FDH Bank Premiership. It also extended our unbeaten league run to seven games, with a clean sheet in every match during that sequence.
