Ntopwa FC, owned and managed by Osman Jomo, have painted a groomy picture of their trip to the North where they are scheduled to play two games in the TNM Super League this weekend.
The Amaghetto, from the populous Bangwe Township, are expected to play Ekwendeni Hammers and Mzuzu Warriors at the Mzuzu Stadium but Jomo told the media on Thursday that their trip is doubtful due to financial problems.

“We are talking of sourcing up to K1.8 million for the two Mzuzu fixtures and to be honest with you, l don’t even have such kind of money as of today. We will need food, accommodation, fuel and a bus,” Osman said.
Silver Strikers go-getters Maxwell Gasten and Staine Davie lead the chase for the Golden Boot at 9 and 8 goals respectively while the Bankers have extended their lead on the TNM Super League to 6 points at 31.
The Bankers now have a challenger up their sleeve as champions Nyasa Big Bullets at 25 points have dramatically risen from the middle tier to become new runners-up.
The Bullets have also played one less game at 12, with three left to wrap up the first round while Silver have played 13 with two left meaning the Bankers have to win at least one game and draw the other of the remaining two games to lead the first round.
