In Machinga, Likwenu beat Machinga South 3-0 in football, while in netball,Likwenu thrashed Machinga South 20-0 at Liwonde Community Centre Ground.
In Mangochi, Central Constituency beat Nkungulu 3-0 in football whereas in netball, Central walloped Malombe 21-2 and in Balaka, Central East edged South 3-2 in football, while in netball Central East also emerged 21-4 winners over South.
So far the tournament has covered Mwanza, Neno, Chikhwawa, Nsanje, Lilongwe, Salima, Nkhotakota, Zomba, Machinga, Balaka and Mangochi.
“Our target was to get it over and done next month although we still have some districts to cover. However, we will try our best,” said Sumaili.
