Super League week 16 round up: Bullets sets new record

After week 16 of Malawi’s elite League action holders Big Bullets is the only team which is still unbeaten after playing 16 league games and they have set a new record in the flagship league.

The week brought joy to some teams as they got the all needed points and sorrow to others who tested defeats in this weeks super league action.

Saturday 19th September, 2015 will be a day to remember to Mighty Wanderers players and their technical panel as they were forced to track by foot from Kamuzu stadium to their club house which is located in Chichiri by their supporters after losing to Kamuzu Barracks 1 nil.

Zinjani Yona scored the only goal in the second half of the game to help Kamuzu Barracks hand the Nomads their fourth defeat of the 2015 Super League season and their second consecutive defeat in just a week.

The Nomads have now played for more than 180 minutes without hitting the back of the net in the second round of Malawi’s top flight league and they are now on position 6 on the log from position 3.

Week 16 also exposed Azam Tigers poor run of form as they were beaten by Mafco fc 1 nil at Kalulu stadium in Nchalo, Chikwawa.
