"I'm happy for the result but not our play. The performance was not good as we failed to keep the ball, we could not control the game I think that needs to be looked into but after getting the first goal, we gave our friends the chance to keep the ball only that they failed to create chances as the back four was solid." Said Mponda.

He further said the journey is still on as they look to continue performing better in each and every game they are playing so that they should finish strong in the season.

The Bankers lead the table with 13 points from 5 games after recording 4 wins and a draw.

"We have prepared very well, we know we are playing on a bad pitch but that will not be our excuse as we want to win in this match so that we prove to ourselves that we have started well in the League." Said Mponda.

The Bankers will be playing their second away match as their first ended in a draw at Dedza Dynamos two weeks ago.

Silver Strikers head coach, Peter Mponda, said he is satisfied with the team's 1-1 draw against Dedza Dynamos at the Dedza Stadium as he said one point from an away game is vital.

Mponda said this after the match and said coaches should not earn praise for the result but players, more especially Charles Chipala, for working to rescue a point in the match.

"I should thank the boys for how they played in the same, in the first half we performed poorly even that goal could have been defended but in the second half, we should thank the boys because they fought to get a goal and a point away from home is not bad." Said Mponda.

Following the draw, the Bankers remain second as they have 7 points from three games they have played this season.

He said it is important for their team to win on Sunday as they don't want to drop any point when playing home and also show seriousness of competing for Championship this season.
