The Darts Association of Malawi (DAM) will this weekend hold this year’s National Championship finals at Mphatso Motel in Mzuzu.

The finals, which start tomorrow and conclude on Sunday, will be returning to Mzuzu after an absence of three years.

DAM secretary general Chester Kayange said teams from all Leagues will out at the National Championships.

“The tournament will serve to expose the new teams to the rigours of the DAM tournament. We have Chitipa and Karonga and Domasi who are appearing for the first time in this tournament. It’s going to one of those thrilling tournaments as they new comers will want to impress,” said Kayange.

He said the coming of the new teams means the game is growing in the country, especially in the Northern Region where the game has been dormant.

Capital Glass captain Joe Zangazanga said after a trophy-less season 2015, this is their year.

“We have been practicing hard because this tournament wills give us an opportunity to salvage something after a disappointing season.  We are going to Mzuzu with intent,” said Zangazanga.
