Majimaji vows to avoid relegation

LEADERS of the Ruvuma based Majimaji FC have vowed to make sure their team will battle to win the remaining matches and avoid Mainland Premier League relegation.
Speaking here during the training held at CCM Kirumba Stadium in Mwanza yesterday ahead of their league clash against Mbao FC at the same venue today, Majimaji’s Secretary General Zakaria Ngalimanayo said a win is a must.
“We will fight to the end and make sure we win all remaining eight matches to escape relegation,” he said. After their tie against Mbao, the Songea lads will travel to Kagera to face Kagera Sugar at the Kaitaba Stadium on March 4th, this year.
He also thanked the team’s sponsor - Ghalib Said Mohamed (G.S.M) for their great help. “They have really been of great help to the team, providing salaries and accommodation to players and technical bench,” he said. He also called upon Ruvuma football fraternity to unite and support the team in remaining fixtures, so as they fulfil their dream of staying in the league.
The 1998 Mainland Premier League champions are placed 13th in the table after gathering 22 points in their last 22 outings. Majimaji have netted 14 goals and have conceded 30 goals. They have won six games, three draws and lost 13 matches. Majimaji will now play four matches in away stadium against Mbao, Kagera Sugar, JKT Ruvu and Ruvu Shooting.
