Nchanga, Lumwana demoted, Nkwazi survives

On the final day of the season, Nchanga Rangers and Lumwana Radiants were kicked out of the Super League.

Police outfit Nkwazi football club secured their own survival on Saturday with a narrow victory over Green Eagles.

Lumwana Radiants suffered a 1-2 defeat at the hands of F.C MUZA while Rangers played out to a 1-1 draw against Kabwe warriors.

Nchanga and Lumwana joins Ndola based Buildcon and Chambishi football clubs to play National Division one football next season.

Speaking in an interview, Nchanga coach Robert Tembo attributed the result to lack of concentration from his side.

“We went on to sit back because this game was a cup final to us but unfortunately, we lost concentration towards the end of the game and conceded,” he said after the game.

Tembo sets national record.

Tembo has set a new record for himself, for having relegated two teams in one season.

He led Barts F.C. of Choma in the National League before they were demoted to the provisional league before rejoining Nchanga.

Tembo, however, has previously earned back-to-back promotions to the Super league. He aided in the promotion of Kafue Celtic and Nchanga Rangers to the Super League.
