BB keeper impressive in Katika Trophy

Big Bullets goalkeeper Vincent Gona has proved that he can as well feature as a striker.  On Saturday, he scored a brace in Salama Bombers’ 4-3 victory against Hard Knockers in the K1 million Justice Katika Bangwe Township Football Trophy at Mpingwe ground.

Gona, who was recently incorporated into Bullets’ camp after he impressed while featuring for Azam Tigers FC, said his two goals, including the winner, were not by fluke because he was a striker before he started playing for Super League teams.

“As you know, it is not easy to win a striking position in the elite league. The best I could do to quickly earn a place was to vie for goalkeeping, which is my second-choice position. Otherwise, I am a complete striker,” said Gona on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Justice Katika Trophy organising secretary Charles Okay has quashed fears that inclusion of Super League players in the non-league soccer contest does not augur well with the purpose of the competition, which is to nurture raw talent.

He said, inclusion of such players will actually enhance that objective.

“It will entice the youth to grow their ambition of playing in the Super League one day,” said Okay.

The likes of Tony Chitsulo, Jelesi Lufeyo and Limbikani Mzava have also been playing for non-league teams in various competitions in Bangwe Township during off-season.

Salama Bombers’ win took them to the top of the ladder in Group A. They have  four points from two games. In other encounters, Ntopwa Super Boys trounced Zambezi Mibawa 6-1 whereas Hatari FC beat Wisiki FC 2-0.

The tournament has four groups of nine teams each.
