Regional leagues back in action
Southern and Central region football leagues are, after a two-week break, set to kick off their second round games this weekend.
Southern Region Masters Security Services league failed to kick off last weekend due to financial problems.
Southern Region Football Association Vice-General Secretary, Kingsley Simbeye, confirmed the development.
“We were waiting for part payment from our sponsor [Masters Security Services Limited] and the treasurer has just assured me that they have sorted out the issue.
“Some teams also had outstanding balances which affected us, as we could not honour officiation costs. But all is set and we are working on the fixtures this week so that we can kick off on Saturday,” Simbeye said.
