He added that the match played against Karonga United has provided them with the much needed fitness and sharpness ahead of the start of the second round of the league on Saturday.
“Karonga gave us a good test and I thought we really coped well with them and we also put them under pressure a lot which is great because it shows we are ready to compete at that level when we get promoted,” he explained.
Karonga United Team Manager Kondwani Mwalweni, has also tipped Baka City for promotion to the Super League.
