Tigers deliver, climb Super League ladder
Azam Tigers’ 4-0 mauling of Kamuzu Barracks took the Kau Kau from sixth to fifth on the TNM Super League ladder. Tigers coach Leo Mpulula described the development as fruits of his faith in the youth.
Tigers registered their fourth win in seven league games on Saturday through a double from former Bangwe All Stars teenager Isaac Kaliati, ex-Blue Eagles Reserves’ Asedi Ajasi and former Cobbe Barracks forward Moses Nankumba.
“Their combination with the senior guys is just very good. Our leading scorer is Maxwell Mwangongo (another youth) with four goals,†said Mpulula about the Tigers who have 13 points. Tigers recently off-loaded some experienced players.
