“It wasn’t easy but they fought till the last whistle and now we are looking forward to the coming tournament,” he added.

Chambeshi went on to thank Pastor (Peter Makembo) for a great job as they could hear the drums from the bench and boys felt like they were in Zambia. Chambeshi concluded by thanking the Technical staff and the boys for the job well done.
