Off the back of winning the African Herbal Mixture Cup, FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Under-19s are set for the 2024 FCB Blantyre District Youth Football League.
After two months of preparing for the league campaign, our youngsters will start their journey facing old stagers YizoYizo Warriors this Sunday at Kamuzu Stadium. They will curtain raise the first team’s TNM Super League encounter against Civil Service United.
In pursuit of their first-ever league title, Bullets U-19s, who finished third in the previous two league campaigns, will look to build on their back-to-back African Herbal Mixture Cup triumph.
A title winner already since his appointment as head coach for our developmental side in March, Malawi and Bullets legend, Yamikani Fodya, believes that the new league campaign will present a different test and that his boys should not sit on their laurels.
“We expect stiff competition, but we are fully prepared for the new campaign. We’ve learned from last season’s experiences and will adapt our strategies accordingly.
“We aim to continue growing and developing as a team. Our goal is to surpass our achievements from the last season,” said Fodya ahead of the tie.
Reflecting on their victory in the African Herbal Mixture Cup, our former captain emphasized its positive impact on the team’s confidence and mindset.
“It showed us that we have the potential to achieve great things when we work together and believe in ourselves. It’s a valuable lesson we’ll carry into the new season.”
Martin Adam, Maxwell Tsakanamba, Henry Manganyera, and a lot of youngsters made waves for the young Maule’s cup feat in April. With a few bright additions, our boys will surely feel fully equipped to snatch the league title from current holders, Manchester Motors.
In the opening three fixtures, Fodya’s side will host Yizo-Yizo Warriors on the first day and matches against Jimmy Zakazaka Academy and CC Stars will follow.
