*}KANSANSHI QUEENS 🆚 SPORTING DOVES*
🗓️Sunday March 5,2023
⌚10:00hrs
🏟️Solwezi Independence Stadium,Annex pitch
Super division promotion chasing Kansanshi Queens welcome Sporting Doves at the magnificent solwezi independence stadium in a week 12 encounter. For Kansanshi to cross over from the National league this season to the Super division next season,this is a must win game
Kansanshi Queens are 2nd on the log standings with 21 points from 11 games and with only 3 games to play before the end of the season, Kansanshi should not drop any point at any stage beginning now till the end
Sporting Doves on the other hand have nothing to play for really,apart from just distancing themselves far away from the dreaded relegation zone. The Mpika based team is currently 6th on the log standings,3rd from the bottom with 9 points from 11 rounds and on paper Kansanshi Queens are favorites to collect maximum points
With a host of 3 other teams closely following kansanshi Queens, breathing heavily on thier neck with only a 3 points gap between them and also still in the running for super division promotion, a win for Kansanshi will tighten thier grip on the 2nd position and further push them closer to super division football and anything less will leave thier promotion ambitions hanging in the balance.
The kansanshi Queens technical bench will still be banking on thier lethal and energetic top scorer,Fridah 'Barbara banda' mukuma to get them those much needed goals and keep the team gunning for super division football next season
*}PRIDE STARS 🆚 INGWE GIRLS*
🗓️Sunday March 5,2023
⌚10:00hrs
🏟️Kasama Boys Ground, Kasama
Pride Stars,another Super Division promotion chasing side will be in action against second from the bottom side Ingwe Girls. Pride stars are 5th on the log standings with 18 points from 11 games and only a win will keep them in the promotion picture,a draw or loss will almost automatically knock them out of the running for promotion
With 2 other teams above them with 18 points as well and a further one with 3 points above,only a win will keep their dream relatively alive
For Ingwe Girls,this is definitely a season to forget in a hurry for the Ndola based outfit as they sit 2nd from the bottom of the standings with 7 points from 10 games played and hopefully they will travel and fulfill this fixture because already they have failed to fulfill fixtures on two occasions
Pride Stars are also hoping for a walk over victory and get those very important free three points but the road to Super division for the kasama based outfit is a tough one,win all remaining games,score alot of goals and hope other promotion contenders fumble along the way
*}KABWE CELTIC QUEENS 🆚 KAMFINSA BLUE EAGLES QUEENS*
🗓️Sunday March 5,2023
⌚15:00hrs
🏟️Bwacha Secondary School Ground,Kabwe
Confirmed champions and automatically promoted to the super division, table topping and unbeaten Kamfinsa Blue Eagles Queens will travel to face the Stubborn Queens of Kabwe in what promises to be an enthralling game, which will see Kabwe Celtic Queens give a guard of honor to the Champions of the league
Kabwe Celtic Queens are still very much in contention for Super Division promotion.Thier current 18 points from 10 games and if they win all the 4 remaining games, they are likely to make it to the big league and if results of the other promotion contenders go thier way
For Kamfinsa Blue Eagles Queens,they have already achieved thier target and already living in thier Dreamland, champions with 3 games to spare and will be playing super division football next season, what else is there to play for?
Ofcourse to keep their unbeaten record intact through to the Super division and become the female version of the Zambian invincibles and strikers Leah 'Bazo' lungu and Gift Ronaldinho Chilwizhi are still fighting for the precious golden boot accolade which is very competitive this season
The stubborn Queens will be aiming for an outright victory which will not only keep their promotion dream alive but will also be historical because the kabwe based outfit will become the first team in the league to beat the high flying Kamfinsa Queens
So Kamfinsa Blue Eagles Queens will be playing to keep their unbeaten record intact while Kabwe Celtic Queens will be playing for points to keep their super division promotion dream alive. Both teams will playing for history. History vs history
The 2nd and last slot for automatic super division promotion is fiercely contested for by 4 teams who all still have chances to cross over and the only way for Kabwe Celtic Queens to live thier dreams next season is for them to win all thier remaining 4 games and hope that calamity falls on the other teams before the end of the season
*}SOLWEZI GIRLS ACADEMY 🆚 NCHANGA QUEENS*
(No Match)
3rd placed Nchanga Queens will be given free three points off technically defunt Solwezi Girls Academy in week 12, meaning Nchanga will have 21 points and depending on the results involving 2nd placed Kansanshi Queens, Nchanga will either maintain their 3rd position or will leapfrog Kansanshi into second place.
If Kansanshi win or draw,they will have 24 or 22 points and will still be second and Nchanga third, but if Kansanshi lose, then Nchanga will topple them into second place,they will be even on points but because of Nchanga's superior goal technicalities,the Queens from Chingola will be in second place.
The other 2 teams still in the promotion race cannot topple Nchanga Even if they win unless with gigantic goals scored, because Kabwe Celtic Queens and Pride Stars both have 18 points and can only have 21 points with a win, points that Nchanga will automatically have after week 12
Nchanga Queens have been one of the most consistent and inform teams in the league, losing just one and winning 4 in thier last 5 league outings,and with thier dangerous strikers scoring goals for fun,if ever that the promotion battle has to be decided on goals,then Nchanga will go up
Solwezi Girls Academy are technically defunt this season, meaning that all the teams in this league will get free three points off them and we will have to wait on FAZ as to whether Solwezi Girls will be automatically relegated or maybe the second last after them
